Rocky times for Anchor squad as Abercorn coast to easy victory

Nov 5 2008 by Paul Behan, Paisley Daily Express

ANCHOR have been deposed at the top of the Paisley Veterans Bowling Association Short Carpet League.

The Paisley side slumped to a heavy 7-1 defeat at the hands of Abercorn and thus fall two points behind the new leading duo – Inchinnan – and the team that defeated them, Abercorn.

Inchinnan rose to the top thanks to a wonderful 8-0 whitewash of Caledonia.

And now there is really everything to play for at the top of the division.

Meikleriggs continued their steady climb upwards thanks to an 8-0 demolition job over Ferguslie.

Meanwhile Ralston are also moving in the right direction following the same winning scoreline against Victoria.

Blacklandmill were left disappointed after they slumped to a 6-2 defeat to Wellmeadow, while Kilbarchan suffered the same scoreline when they lost to Charleston.

Priorscroft’s woes continued for another week when they were thrashed 8-0 by Hawkhead, a result that leaves them two points adrift at the foot of the table.

Week four results were: Ralston 8 Victoria 0, Priorscroft 0 Hawkhead 8, Meikleriggs 8 Ferguslie 0, Lochfield 4 Elderslie 4, Kilbarchan 2 Charleston 6, Inchinnan 8 Caledonia 0, Wellmeadow 6 Blacklandmill 2, Abercorn 7 Anchor 1. Renfrew were the idle team.

Week Five fixtures are: Renfrew v Priorscroft, Victoria v Meikleriggs, Hawkhead v Lochfield, Ferguslie v Kilbarchan, Elderslie v Inchinnan, Charleston v Wellmeadow, Caledonia v Abercorn, Blacklandmill v Anchor. Ralston are the idle team.
