BLACKHEATH & Greenwich Bowls Club are through to the regional finals of the EBA Top Club after a 3-2 win away at St Lawrence in Ramsgate on Sunday.

Steve Marrett was involved in tight encounter in the two wood singles, which he led for the first half of the game before being overhauled by Geoff Harnett.

With the scores level at 13-13, Harnett scored the one shot needed for victory.

Paul Field, in for the injured Jeff King, took a convincing lead in the singles against Mick Homersham.

But Homersham picked up his game and Field faultered slightly, although he finally won 21-14 to put B&G level.

Andy Thomson, back from his indoor victory in Sheffield, teamed up with teenager James King to put B&G 2-1 in front with a 24-15 win over Steve Parr and Keith Weyand.

Terry Heppell's on-form triple of Bob Payne and Del Field made sure of the tie with a 22-5 success.
