Congratulations to Frank Garratt, Ray Grimason and Nick Collie in reaching the Semi - finals of the BLI Triples
In their Quarter final against a young St James's Gate Triples of under 25 players Mark O'Reilly, Andrew O'Keefe and Under 25 International Shane Leonard they were at one stage 10 - 4 up. The Gate came back to them and were 13 - 12 down playing the last end with Kenilworth lying shot for the match. Shane fired with his last bowl and burnt the end. In the replayed end the Gate were lying 2 shots for the match but Andrew pushed in a Kenilworth bowl for second shot. Shane was unable to change the head despite some excellent bowls. An extra end was needed and by this time it was 10.45pm and with light fading it was nearly impossible to see the bowls never mind the jack. Mark landed on the jack and  when Ray went to play Kenilworth were 2 or 3 down. Ray's last bowl rested Marks bowl for second shot.
Kenilworth had all the back bowls, and Shane tried to cover the back. There was a back bowl of Kenilworth that was to the left of the green about two feet from the ditch and some discussion took place whether it was in play or not. It was virtually impossible to see the bowl from the far end, but the Gate conceded that it was in by a fraction. Shane's second bowl hit the Kenilworth back bowl moving it much more into play. Nick fired on the forehand with his first two bowls and missed but with his last bowl he changed his hand to the backhand and connected, sending the jack into the ditch. Kenilworth were now lying the shot, with the Kenilworth bowl that Shane had moved. Shane had just 2 feet to try and draw the shot, but failed. A thrilling match that Kenilworth eventually won over 4 and half hours.
