Espanyol stay in top flight with last gasp winner

Espanyol & Alaves were locked in battle for survival Alaves scored on 79 minutes giving them survival as Espanyol were drawing 0 - 0. Watching on the live scores update on the internet
was painful as it updated every minute Then a call from the ground all we could hear was goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........................l yes on the 90 + minute the league status saver a goal from Ferran Corominas
Not only was it that idbi but the full stadium could not believe it, it took Andy & Sian 15 minutes to get into the ground normally it only takes a minute, the Catalans had turned out to help save their second team with Barcelona already having the league title won and Arsenal to face on Wednesday.

Bowls

The season begun at West End unfortunately Haydon Wick lost. Then we played them at our own rink a few days later the only winning rink was mine.
Penhill was next again at home this time a much better result 13 -1, however my rink was the drawn game we were losing all the way through. At the last end 19-18 down I went to the mat we were a couple of shots down my first wood went wide left. Their skip made the drive more difficult for my second shot, I over corrected the drive by being verywide on the right, luckily it hit a wood in for shot. Idbi was what the skip said I think, we held on for the draw 19-19.
