Saturday 2nd May 2015 saw the start of the outdoor season with Dinas Powys getting off to a winning start with a comfortable victory over Barry Central in their WBA Carruthers Shield Group game.
Sadly for the bowlers and watching supporters, the sunshine of the early week was nowhere to be seen as the game was played out in drizzly intermittent rain.
Dinas, with Matthew Gershenson on debut, where far too strong for their opponents, running out victors by 162 shots to 30 with all four rinks winning by comfortable margins.
Pride of place went to Chris Blake's rink, who registered two eight's in their 49-7 win.
D. Parker, T.Hurcom, D.Vowles, C.Blake (49-7) M.Gershenson, M.Edwards, A.Harvey, A.Meddins (38-5) J.Coles, R.Cowling, G.Griffiths, R.Janes (36-8) J.Ackland, P.Critcher, P.Marks, M.Ackland (39-10)
