EL CID KNIGHTS
NORTHERN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!
7th March - On Monday the Knights travelled to Calpe BC to take on their Marlins needing just 4 points to win the Northern League. They did it in style taking a convincing 8-0 win. All the more impressive in that there are still 2 more matches to be played and those matches expected to be very tricky as taking on the other 2 El Cid teams the Cavaliers first and then the Templars! El Cid teams have now been Champions for three consecutive years. Good news in that the El Cid Templars are now in 2nd place and 7 points clear of the BBC Sharks in 3rd place. Some recent good results for the Cavaliers seeing them reasonably safe in 7th place. Good luck to all 3 teams for ther last 2 matches! COME ON EL CID!

Wow. What a final! So close for El Cid members Richard and Linda Saunders! Here is a link to the report by Les Gillett on the Bowls International website! Suffice to say they lost to a team from the Five Lakes Potters resort in an extra end!

Will that wind ever go away. It seems to have been a succession of wind storms over the last few weeks. Not only doing damage to some of our facilities but making playing bowls VERY challenging. However the Club Championships continue to run to schedule, some Valencian Champions League matches are getting played and our league teams continue to get some great results. See the individual results and fixtures under the team names on our website menu. However the highlight has to be that the Knights are now 16 points clear at the top of the Northern League. Just 4 games to go but the last 2 games will be against the other 2 El Cid teams!
Best news of all is that El Cid is once again through to the FINAL of the Premier 20 knockout. on the 12th February we beat Quesada BC. The Away team taking 3 wins and the home team 2 wins. Highlight of the match being Alan Phillips fighting back from 20-8 down to win the away Singles! We now await the winners of the other semi final match between Country Bowls and Greenlands.
