What a blast from the past. I was there. Wonderful.

You were there? Have you dried out yet?

[@shayneoflaherty3488]

Just amazing bowls. Brassey was just incredible & it was great to see my all-time favourite bowler Phil Skogland getting interviewed. Bummer that the end of the match isn't available, cos it must've been a great finish.

On the 14th end when Alcock gave away the lead by knocking the Jack to his opponents it was obvious that he should have avoided that possibility by coming in on his backhand.

what an amazing game

[@kevinjackson9786]

Has anyone got the end of this match they could put on KZbin? And has anyone got footage of Bryant or Allcock playing Bowls they could put on KZbin?

Great bowls between four of the greats...does smoking a pipe help make you play better?..😂

[@tullymurrytoff1497]

His pipe suprisingly was never lit

@@tullymurrytoff1497 indoors no but outdoors yes it was on occasion, I've seen video on KZbin where he is puffin away, however, it wasn't frowned upon back then, and I do love the smell of pipe tobacco so no complaints from me...

@@tullymurrytoff1497...around 6:23 there is a distinct whisp of smoke from the Briant chimney in this video.

@@MrRadiorobot Yes absolutely love the smell and I do use one now and again. Your right smoking was not frowned on then. Take me back anyday
