11^th May 2022 - 6pm - Waddesdon - Won 10-4 (63-58)

This seasons Bucks Cup started with the usual match against Waddesdon and in previous years the early season fixture had not gone our way however despite winning 2 rinks each we managed to secure a 10-4 win courtesy of our 5 shot combined score win. Matthew Crick, Roger Crick & Andy Watkins had a tough game at home, taking 8 ends before they finally picked up a shot. They kept on battling and ended up losing 16-10. On the other rink at home Daniel Watkins, Steve McNeill & Mark Newman had a much better evening, going 5-1 ahead after 5 ends.

Josh Henly, Pete Coyne had a tough game away and were 14-4 down after 9 ends however they managed to pick up another 10 shots and finished up losing 21-14. Despite dropping a 3 on the first end Ian Ramsay, Eddie Chanell & Tony Osborne got ahead a couple of ends later and were soon in control of the game after going 6 ends without dropping a shot and they only lost 6 ends in the game on their way to a 17-12 win. Next week we play Wendover and will be looking for another good win as Wendover also won 10-4 tonight.

18^th May 2022 – 6pm -  Wendover - Won 12 - 2 (79-36)

This evening we were looking to build on last weeks impressive win against Waddesdon when we played Wendover, who beat Aylesbury Town last week. At home Daniel Watkins, Steve McNeill & Mark Newman got off to a great start in their game picking up a 6 and 4 in consecutive ends and they dominated their game throughout, winning 28-6. Matthew Crick, Roger Crick & Andy Watkins were looking to bounce back from their narrow defeat last week and this was to be a better result as we earnt a 16-6 win and maximum points at home. Playing at Wendover Ian Ramsay, Eddie Chanell & Tony Osborne earnt another 2 points for the team courtesy of their 22-8 win, whilst Josh Henly, Pete Coyne & Paul Rogers lost 16-13 but the overall score was a 12 – 2 win.

1^st June 2022 - 6pm - Princes Risborough - Won 10 - 4 (91-60)

This evening we needed to win as many rinks as possible with Waddesdon picking up maximum points last week and closing the gap to 4 points between us, despite us having won our 2 games and Waddesdon only winning 1. This was to prove a tough game tonight where the luck just didn’t seem to fall our way. At home Daniel Watkins, Steve McNeill & Mark Newman were playing the better bowls but they just didn’t seem to get the run of things and ended up losing 19-13. Matthew Crick, Roger Crick & Andy Watkins had a much better evening with all 3 playing some great bowls on their way to a 31-11 win. Playing at Princes Risborough were Ian Ramsay, Eddie Chanell and Tony Osborne and they matched the score from home with a 31-11 win, whereas Josh Henly, Pete Coyne and Paul Rogers were 15-11 ahead after 15 ends but their luck ran out as they dropped 8 shots to lose 19-16. Next week we are playing Long Crendon and will be looking for another good win and hope that Waddesdon drop points.

8^th June 2022 – Hazells v Long Crendon – Bucks Cup – Won 14 – 0 (95 – 45)

Tonight was an important night for us in the Bucks Cup, having won our first 3 games but with Waddesdon on level points with us, we knew that to remain top and keep the destination of group winners in our own hands we needed to pick up maximum points. At home Paul Rogers, Pete Coyne & Josh Henly put the previous weeks disappointing result behind them with a comfortable 30-6 win. Ashley Dean, Ian Ramsay & Tony Osborne had a tougher game and they went in to the last end level at 15-15 and managed to pick up a 2 for a 17-15 win and all 4 points at home. Matthew Crick, Roger Crick & Andy Watkins got off to a great start and were 14-1 ahead after 9 ends however they only won 2 more ends but they held on to the lead and won 19-14. On the other rink Daniel Watkins, Steve McNeill & Mark Newman took a few ends to get in to the game, going 7-1 down after 6 ends however on the 9^th end they picked up a 6 to take the lead and from there they only lost 1 more end in the match and ran out 29-10. So we picked up the maximum 14 points and added a great 50 shots to our overall shot difference. So we now go in to next weeks final game against Aylesbury Town knowing that maximum points should give us top spot in the division and the home advantage in the quarter finals.

15^th June 2022 - 6pm – Aylesbury Town - Won 12 -2 (71-61)

With the Divisional Winner prize still up for grabs we knew that maximum points tonight and a good shot difference win would secure top spot over Waddesdon, who were playing Princes Risborough. Richard Keen, Steve McNeill & Mark Newman took the early lead in their game, although by the 7^th end they were just 7-6 ahead, however they then picked up a 6 followed by a 5 2 ends later to go 19-6 ahead and from there they played out the game very well and won 24-14. Despite winning the first 2 ends John Stones, Matthew Crick & Roger Crick were behind for the majority of the game and they went in to the last end 4 down and with the final bowl they had a chance to pick up the 5 they needed but Roger couldn’t take the jack back far enough and they ended up with just 2 shots and lost 14-12. Away from Home Josh Henly, Pete Coyne & Paul Rogers dropped 8 shots from the first 4 ends however by the 7^th end they were 9-8 ahead and they never lost the lead again although when they dropped a 3 on the last it became a close game and they held on for an 18-17 win. Rob Stanbury, Ian Ramsay & Tony Osborne were 8-2 down after 6 ends however by the 10^th end they were 9-8 ahead. This was a tight game throughout and with 2 ends to play we were 15-13 ahead however we then dropped a 3 to go in to the last end a shot down however we picked up a 2 to win by a shot and give us the 3 winning rinks. Unfortunately with Waddesdon winning all 4 rinks it meant that despite winning all 5 of our games we still only finished 2^nd in the division which will mean an away tie in the quarter finals.
