Atlantic bronze for Jersey bowls fours

‘To be honest, to lose 20-8 was a frustrating and disappointing way to finish what has been a marvellous two weeks,’ said Renouf. ‘Although Derek (Boswell) and John (Lowery) held their own at the front-end, we just didn’t play well enough, and were never allowed in the game.’

Renouf identified two occasions – first on the fifth end, and again on the ninth – when Newman trailed the jack for four shots, so that England were 14-7 ahead at the halfway stage.

‘Those two brilliant bowls made all the difference at that stage, and we were always looking for a way back into the game in the second half,’ said Renouf.

The Jersey quartet can be proud of what they achieved in winning a bronze medal for fourth place in the fours, however.
