26th March - It was a disappointing result for the Black team after a close final match of the season against Lawford.
Both games in the first session were close. The Four's game with Keith Waters, John Woodrow, Brenda Casey-Wyatt and Keith Casey-Wyatt was a close, low scoring game with the sides level at 5-5 after seven ends. Lawford took the eighth end by one shot and in the last end the home side were holding shot until Lawford's last bowl but ended with an 8-5 defeat. The Pair of Irene Rule and Gill Waters fought hard in their game but the excellent Lawford Pair held on to their early led to narrowly win the game 9-8.
The second session saw the Pair of Sue Miller and Colin Hawkins overcome a three shot deficit in the first end to take control of their game and they held on to win 10-9 despite a late rally by Lawford. The Four of Brenda Casey, Chris Woodrow, David Rule and Colin Miller were unable to recover from a five shot deficit in the fourth end and finished the game 14-7 down.
18th March - The Red team played their final 'Tens' League match last night away at Prettygate. It was a good night for the team and they came away with a good 6-2 win.
It started in the Singles with Peter Orrin starting slowly being 0-5 down after two ends
However he soon got into form and eventually won 9-7
The Triple of Marilyn Bennet/Glenyce King/John Curd started well and built up a good 5-0 lead after five ends and although the home team came back the Red team Triple were able to hold on to win the match 6-4
It proved a good first session and this was carried on by the Pair of John Ames & Greg King who started well and built up a good 6-2 lead after five ends against a strong Prettygate Pair  Again the Red team pair were able to hold on and win another close match 7-6
The Red team Four of Carol Curd/Linda Spinks/Gary Owen/Ray Spinks were involved in yet another close match but this time just lost out 7-8 on the last end
It leaves the Red team at the top of the Tens league having played all of their matches, but they can be caught when the other outstanding matches are played
Additionally in the main Colchester West league the Red team remain top again having played all matches
With one key game still to be played the Red team still have an outside chance of winning the league but now whatever happens in the final game they are guaranteed either 1st or 2nd place
It means that the Red team will now be invited to represent Colchester West league in the Essex Finals Day at Braintree Leisure Centre on Sunday 28th April 2019 in either the main Championship or in the Plate Competition. 
13 March - The Red team played their last league match of the season away at Abberton & Langenhoe. The team was in outstanding form saving their best performance of the season until this last match which was won 8-0. 
It all hinged on the first session with two extremely close games. 
The first Four of Margaret Brown/John Ames/John Curd & Glenyce King started well building up a 7-3 lead after six ends. However the home team made up ground in the next two ends with Highwoods leading 7-6 going into the last end. Good bowling by the Red team allowed them to take shot and win a close match 8-6. 
The first Pair of Gill Spurgeon & Diane Orrin saw a similar pattern with the score 4-4 after six ends. A good seventh end saw the advantage to the Red team taking 4 shots, but a rally on the eighth end narrowed the lead to 8-6 going into the last end. With the home team holding two shots a draw looked highly likely but a fabulous last bowl by Diane took shot and won the game 9-6. 
The second session saw the Red team Pair of Marilyn Bennet & Greg King initially involved in a close match leading 5-3 after six ends. However a strong finish by Marilyn & Greg saw them take 13 shots on the last three ends to win the match comfortably 18-3
The second Four of Carol Curd/Ray Spencer/Gary Owen & Peter Orrin started their match in style leading 7-0 after two ends. The home team never recovered and never looked likely to, with the Red team winning comfortably 10-6
The league season is now finished for the Red team and they are top of the league. Their final placing will depend upon the results of others but they still have an outside chance of winning the league, but a good chance of the runners up spot. 
8th March - In their last away game of the season the Black team suffered a narrow defeat in a close encounter against Great Bentley.
In the first session the Four of Brenda Kettle, Yvonne Witney, Peter Near and Colin Miller were always in contention in a close game that ended 7-6 to the home team. The Pair of Sue Miller and Sheila Near lost their first end by 6 shots and on a difficult carpet could not recover, eventually losing 19-5.
In the second session the Four of Chris Woodrow, Brenda Casey-Wyatt, David Rule and Jackie Youngs made a strong start, winning the first six ends. Although they then lost the last three ends they fully deserved their 8-6 win. The second Pair of Irene Rule and Gill Waters were 6-0 down after just two ends but fought back brilliantly, winning five of the last six ends to force a well earned 9-9 draw.
There is just one more league fixture this season for the Black team, at home to Lawford on 26th March.
5th March - Highwoods Red played their last home match of the season against the reigning champions and current league leaders Birch Teys. In a close and hard fought match it ended in a 4-4 draw

The Red team Pair of Gill Spurgeon & Peter Orrin were in a close battle with the match swinging one way then the other and after six ends it was 4-4. The visitors took 2 shots on the seventh end, but Gill & Peter matched this on the eighth end to go into the last end level at 6-6. The last end was close but Peter was able to draw in his last but one bowl to win the match 7-6
The second session followed a similar pattern. The Red team Pair of Marilyn Bennet & Greg King were 5-5 after seven ends but some outstanding bowling on the last two ends saw Marilyn & Greg take 7 shots to win the match 12-5
The Red team Four of Carol Curd/John Ames/Gary Owen & Diane Orrin got the better of the early exchanges to lead 5-3 after six ends. The visitors took one shot on the next two ends to go into the last End at 5-5. The advantage was with the home team until the opposing skips last bowl when he took shot to win the game 5-6
It leaves the Red team needing a large win in their last away game next week at Abberton to now have any chance of the Runners up spot
1st March - A 7-1 win at Alresford completed a good week for the Black team, having also recorded a 6-2 win against the same club earlier in the week. The final scoreline however does not reflect the closeness of some of the games.
In the first session  the Four of Joan Rugg, Mary Martin, David Rule and Jackie Youngs started well and were 9-0 up after four ends. Alresford won the next three ends but to no avail as Highwoods ended the game 10-6 winners.

The first session saw two close games both ending in draws. Marilyn & Diane in the Pairs started well to build up a 7-4 lead after six ends but the home team came back to level at 8-8. The first four of Linda Spinks, John Curd, Ray Spinks and Greg King were close until they established a 7-4 lead with just two ends to go. The home team however made the use of the knowledge of their carpets on the last two ends to level at 7-7. 
In the second session the Red team were hoping for at least one win but this was not to be the case. The second four of Carol Curd, John Ames, Gary Owen & Glenyce King found the carpet too tricky especially early on, being 8-0 down after just 4 ends. They never recovered and lost out 4-12. It was all up to the second pair of Gill Spurgeon & Peter Orrin and in an exceptional & close match it was anybodies match going into the last end. Unfortunately a heavy wick by the home team skip with his last bowl deprived the Red team pair the draw or possible win which the match deserved. 
It now looks as if the top league position is out of reach of the Red team but two good wins in their last two matches could give them the runners up spot
