Bowls league

MACHYNLLETH kept up the pace to challenge Berriew, Welshpool and Newtown for the Montgomeryshire County Men’s League Division. One title thanks to an impressive 40shot home success over basement boys Montgomery.

The visitors, who shocked the Llynlloedd men earlier in the season, were beaten on three rinks, but claimed a draw on the fourth, took home 0.5 to Machynlleth’s 6.5 points.

Following the league programme on August 8, only eight points covered the leading four clubs, with Machynlleth and Welshpool two games to play and Berriew and Newtown one each.

In Division Two, Maglona played their last game of this season’s campaign at Aberdyfi and were rather unfortunate to return with no points.

The third-placed seasiders, winning on three rinks by 1, 1, and 5, together with a comfortable victory on rink four, won by 30 shots and reaped all seven league points.

Mach Maethlon

WHILST preparing with partners Gerddi Bro Ddyfi Gardens for the Pollinators’ Festival on Saturday, 24 August, Edible Mach Maethlon volunteers continue to keep the group’s sites around town in good order and full of lovely vegetables, herbs and fruits.

The group meets on Wednesdays at 2pm outside the Pls at the Edible picnic table.

The sessions lasts two hours, but there is no commitment to stay for the full two hours.

All welcome from experienced gardeners to complete newbies, and children too, if accompanied by an adult.

County pool

THIRTEEN frames to two down at home to South Flintshire A in the North Wales Interleague Division Two on Sunday, 11 August, team captain Geraint “Gwri” Evans sneaked frame 16 to lead Machynlleth Marvels’ thrilling fightback.

Winning 20 of the next 23 frames, the Marvels took full control of the match for a stunning 23-17 victory to keep their title challenge alive.

Machynlleth Môr-ladron were at Oswestry Ex- servicemen’s and, although well in the game for the first three sessions, lost out in the final two sessions by 24 frames to 16.
