Ottery D will be playing their bowls in a higher division next season despite losing at home to Chagford, writes Michael Smith.
To begin the week Ottery welcomed Bitton Park with the hosts proving too strong, winning 107-83 and by four rinks to one. The best Ottery rink was Celia Russell, Richard Bland and skip Andrew Evans winning 26-8.
In the Men's Over 60's League with the A & B Teams fate already decided, the D team needed to win at home to Chagford to make sure of promotion and the possible top spot - they lost on both rinks but in spite of this, due to other results going their way, have secured promotion to Division 6.
To win the division outright will depend on the final game of the season between Belmont B and of all teams, Ottery C!
Last weekend was the culmination of the internal competitions.
In the Ladies section Shirley Fewtrell had a clean sweep winning both the Two Woods Singles and the Four Woods Singles and also the Ladies Pairs with Sheila Taylor albeit due to the late withdrawal of one of the other finalists.
