England got off to the ideal start in Chelmsford, leading by 20 shots at the half way stage. Scotland showed some true character never letting them out of their reach, clawing it back to single figures multiple times.
I'm sure we speak for everyone as we say thank you to David and Anne for their service to the BIIBC and bowls as a whole. We hope you have a happy and healthy retirement and look forward to seeing you relaxing as spectators at future events.
