:01:14. > :01:21.from Swansea back to the Selwyn Samuel Centre in Llanelly, where
:01:21. > :01:30.the top 16 bowler's art intent on painting the town scarlet. Coming
:01:31. > :01:36.up tonight, it is great Welsh hope Jason Greenslade, S -- fresh from
:01:36. > :01:42.the world finals. Robert Weale lost yesterday, how will his opponent's
:01:42. > :01:49.face in the 2006 World Champion. Also in action, world No. 1, Paul
:01:49. > :01:56.Foster, and current Welsh Grand Prix champion, Mark Royal. And we
:01:56. > :01:58.have the crucial moment from this year's Welsh national final. The
:01:58. > :02:03.Welsh Grand Prix started on Welsh Grand Prix started on
:02:03. > :02:13.Saturday, and this is what has happened so far. The top half
:02:13. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:44.started with three Welsh man and defeat of Stewart Anderson. The
:02:44. > :02:49.last Welsh man to win this trophy was Jason Greenslade in 2006. Two
:02:49. > :02:55.weeks ago, he reached the world final, how would you fair on home
:02:55. > :03:00.soil? The visitor, Wayne Hogg, was determined not to let his opponent
:03:00. > :03:07.capitalise on that and got off to a flying start taking the first set
:03:07. > :03:17.9-1. Things were not going much better in the second. We join it in
:03:17. > :03:26.
:03:26. > :03:36.the Fort bend with Jason being 4-0 answer, he needs to find something
:03:36. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :04:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:04:21. > :04:31.needs. Wayne Hogg had a good line playing the back and again. --
:04:31. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:38.backhand. He does not want to get to the jack on the backhand. It is
:04:38. > :04:42.good, but he has opened the target a little bit. Very good bowl by
:04:42. > :04:52.Jason, a tad unfortunate that he moved it and made it slightly
:04:52. > :04:57.
:04:57. > :05:07.get back, you want to make sure you're arriving ahead. It is not
:05:07. > :05:36.
:05:36. > :05:46.but realistically, he should take a higher line and wraparound into the
:05:46. > :06:11.
:06:11. > :06:17.green bowls. The last thing he deeper than he would have liked.
:06:17. > :06:27.There is a shot on here. It is not easy, but if he could control the
:06:27. > :06:29.
:06:29. > :06:33.way to hear. It is worth paying. -- playing. The other alternative is
:06:33. > :06:43.to come heavier if he wants to, and getting to the green bowl and back
:06:43. > :06:43.
:06:43. > :07:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:07:23. > :07:33.That bowl was too solid, still two face now. An assistant bank manager,
:07:33. > :07:37.Wayne Hogg. I can imagine he has that expression occasionally.
:07:37. > :07:47.will look to deposit another bowl and the head here. Very close.
:07:47. > :08:00.
:08:00. > :08:07.Taking advantage. That is good by maybe a change of tactics for Jason
:08:07. > :08:12.Greenslade. What we would be seeing here is Jason get himself back into
:08:12. > :08:18.the set. This is the biggest bowl and the game so far. Here we go,
:08:18. > :08:22.three sorts against him. -- shots. He would be happy with fat. He
:08:22. > :08:30.needs to get the opening bowl close and that is what he did in the
:08:30. > :08:34.previous cent. -- end. He needs to get the open closer he will lose
:08:34. > :08:38.this game. He has moved on to those straight-line bowls and we talked
:08:38. > :08:43.about this in the first set. He is going to short tackling them that
:08:43. > :08:48.will not be easy. He has to change their game, Wayne Hogg is going 29
:08:48. > :08:58.metres every end, so we have a loose opening bowl from Jason, not
:08:58. > :09:05.
:09:05. > :09:13.pattern of the game, but it is difficult to go short with a
:09:13. > :09:18.straighter line bowl. That is what you do to your opposition. Always a
:09:18. > :09:24.danger, he could very go scrappy. He will be hoping to pick up an end
:09:24. > :09:32.or so on the scrappy and. Very difficult to change tactics at this
:09:33. > :09:42.stage. On a higher line again. Lots of weight. Running through. A lot
:09:43. > :10:09.
:10:09. > :10:16.Wayne taking advantage, nailing it would expect. A good bowl. Once
:10:16. > :10:25.again, Jason has to think about finding a very narrow line. He has
:10:25. > :10:35.to concentrate on that and also on getting his weight back. He has
:10:35. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :11:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:11:16. > :11:26.very dangerous. You can use bundles on them if you're not careful. --
:11:26. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:50.fast, slick carpet. Paul Foster said it was that little correction
:11:50. > :12:12.
:12:12. > :12:20.that makes it so difficult when ring. Annie weighed over and it
:12:20. > :12:30.will not bend enough. -- Annie Wayte over. It was getting down. If
:12:30. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:38.it heavy. -- a foot heavy. A chance for Wayne hard year, he needs to
:12:38. > :12:48.drop back and draw another. If he gets a bonus he gets three. Just a
:12:48. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:31.be good enough for a double. taken out very quickly. The referee,
:13:31. > :13:47.
:13:47. > :13:54.Wayne harbour. A disappointing day for Jason. He picked up one more
:13:55. > :14:02.point but eventually lost the match. Wayne hard taking the second set
:14:02. > :14:08.10-4. -- Wayne Haag. They were drawing slightly more than Jason,
:14:08. > :14:12.about to finish on the rink at the longer end. I was bidding Jason
:14:13. > :14:18.under pressure and that always hard. A difficult state for Jason
:14:18. > :14:24.Greenslade, let's see what went wrong. Forced into playing weight
:14:24. > :14:30.with lots of good connections. Again, Wayne Hogg, he forced Jason
:14:31. > :14:36.to wait. No luck. Not happening for him. He starts to miss the drives.
:14:36. > :14:41.Another good connection, the green bowl stays there. Not his day today.
:14:41. > :14:47.Wayne Hardy is too good, and at the end of the day, he goes through to
:14:47. > :14:51.the second round. -- Wayne harbour. The first of the second-round
:14:51. > :14:58.matches the featured the big story from the weekend, the conqueror of
:14:58. > :15:01.Wales has Robert Weale. Cavan, the Wales has Robert Weale. Cavan, the
:15:01. > :15:07.22-year-old accountant from Lincolnshire got his figures right
:15:07. > :15:13.as he recovered from a set down to topple the top ranked Wales player.
:15:13. > :15:18.-- Kelvin. It was a real moment. By visiting dead and buried in the end
:15:18. > :15:22.of the tie-break. I managed to produce a couple of bowls. Just
:15:22. > :15:29.like they say, it's unreal and it has not sunk in yet that I had
:15:29. > :15:33.beaten Robert Weale. 2006 world champion, Mervyn King avenged his
:15:33. > :15:40.Scottish semi-final defeat against his international colleague, Robert
:15:40. > :15:50.Paxton in the first round on Saturday. The first set it was nip
:15:50. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:05.and tuck all the way. Its 5-5 as we he has already beaten Robert Weale,
:16:05. > :16:15.the Commonwealth Games champion, is it possible he can do the same
:16:15. > :16:25.
:16:25. > :16:35.is the first set. To have the first set in your pocket is an advantage,
:16:35. > :16:47.
:16:47. > :16:52.that the score is level. He has been a more consistent player. But
:16:52. > :17:02.when it comes down to last end of any of the sax, it is really just a
:17:02. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:32.shoot-out. One lucky bowl can be easy to hold the bowls back. From a
:17:32. > :17:42.very lively bowls club in Spalding. Cavan has a younger sister,
:17:42. > :17:59.
:17:59. > :18:05.Charlene. -- Calvin. She has played draw. Hasn't been successful in the
:18:05. > :18:11.first few deliveries. This one needs to bend back really hard. If
:18:11. > :18:21.it dropsy is going to be there. Really close. Looks like he has
:18:21. > :18:34.
:18:34. > :18:44.this end. That shot was good enough for the first set unless Kelvin
:18:44. > :18:51.
:18:51. > :18:57.Leuty can do a safety. Two balls to get back. He must have a very good
:18:57. > :19:06.weight and it looked like he did not deliver it right. He is going
:19:06. > :19:15.to lose a shot. We are waiting to see if he is conceding it. He has
:19:16. > :19:24.conceded it. Mervyn King, the more experienced player, the seeded
:19:24. > :19:29.player, wins the first set 6-5. he hanged on to play in the second
:19:30. > :19:38.set but Mervyn King's experience began to tell. We join it in the
:19:38. > :19:46.8th end with King a 12-five up. any chance he has got now is to
:19:46. > :19:53.group his first three in a position for a four. That is precisely what
:19:53. > :19:59.he will be thinking about. Even that one, I think he was playing
:19:59. > :20:07.for the jack but he missed that by a distance and Mervyn King will hit
:20:07. > :20:15.the two reds. Mervyn King very confident. All he has got to do is
:20:15. > :20:20.stop his opponent scoring four. was behind that one a little bit.
:20:20. > :20:27.About a metre and a half too far. He will be looking to trial this
:20:27. > :20:37.jack Black. The difficulty he has is that if he drops short, the
:20:37. > :20:38.
:20:38. > :20:48.match is over. That is not what he wanted. It is all going pear-shaped
:20:48. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :21:05.He is aware the two greens could disappear. He wants to draw another
:21:05. > :21:07.
:21:07. > :21:12.one in. That was good. For a long time, he was matched by the
:21:12. > :21:19.youngster in this match. Until just a couple of ends ago. It was wide
:21:19. > :21:24.open but certainly he has taken control. Suddenly he has had a
:21:24. > :21:28.lapse and become inconsistent and it is the old soldier that comes
:21:28. > :21:33.through surely, unless he can work a miracle with this. Is it
:21:33. > :21:43.possible? He is playing an attacking shot. He has got a
:21:43. > :21:52.
:21:52. > :21:57.scoring two shots, winning the second set of 14-5. He got the
:21:57. > :22:03.first 6-5. A straight set win for the 2006 world champion, Mervyn
:22:03. > :22:09.King from Norfolk. And in the outstanding first round matches,
:22:09. > :22:15.Scotland's Paul Foster took on Hong Kong's Tammy Tam. He was a first
:22:15. > :22:23.timer that was not overwhelmed but the world No. 1's experience told.
:22:23. > :22:29.A great effort but not quite. Wonderful from Paul Foster. Well,
:22:29. > :22:37.in the end, a comfortable scoreline. Paul Foster takes the first set 10-
:22:37. > :22:47.1 and the second, 8-4. And current Welsh champion Mark Royal is also
:22:47. > :22:52.through after defeating South It has been buzzing here and I know
:22:52. > :22:58.that the club is very glad to have the balls back in town. I am joined
:22:58. > :23:05.by the club secretary. What does it mean to you? It means a great deal
:23:05. > :23:09.to the town and to the players and spectators. We did lose it after
:23:09. > :23:14.about 14 years and we were fortunate this year that the
:23:14. > :23:19.council has helped us out to have them back here. And I hope they
:23:19. > :23:24.will be here for a while. It is one of those things that we are very
:23:24. > :23:28.proud of, really. Are you looking forward to make fantastic week? I
:23:28. > :23:33.bet. Thank you very much and one of the highlight of Monday has been
:23:33. > :23:36.the Welsh indoor men's final and today was not different. This
:23:36. > :23:41.competition has seen the biggest names and the lesser-known a
:23:41. > :23:47.triumph in recent years. It has always been an eagerly anticipated
:23:48. > :23:53.contest. Phil Rowlands from Cardiff is the current champion and on his
:23:53. > :24:00.way to this final, he defeated two rising stars of world bowls. Gerard
:24:00. > :24:05.Greene and recent Welsh convert, Stewart Anderson. 23-year-old
:24:05. > :24:09.Damien Duff were also from the Cardiff club survived a nail-biting
:24:09. > :24:15.semi-final against Ross Alyn to claim his place in his first
:24:15. > :24:20.national final. He raised to an early pipe-one that lead and then
:24:21. > :24:30.his opponent called him back. -- 5- 1 lead. We join him at the end of
:24:31. > :24:31.
:24:31. > :25:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:25:15. > :25:25.the third set with him 6-4 up and punish you. Good weight again. Very
:25:25. > :25:55.
:25:55. > :26:02.of it is looking good and that is well played. He did well there.
:26:02. > :26:07.Once again, he has been asked a difficult question and he delivers.
:26:07. > :26:14.He could not have played this much better. He settled in there and
:26:14. > :26:18.rested against the red and got back in position. Trying to chase a
:26:18. > :26:23.little bit. Once he has got there, he has got no chance of getting
:26:23. > :26:30.back if he has got the weight. Try to get between the two balls but he
:26:30. > :26:34.has got to think about this very carefully. If you are going to play
:26:34. > :26:40.it, play it in a gentle way. What he does not want to do is get on
:26:40. > :26:46.the side of the jack. He needs a nice angle to drop him.
:26:46. > :26:50.alternative is to play here but he needs this angle. It is OK as long
:26:50. > :26:56.as he plays a high line and a good weight. He does not want to be
:26:57. > :27:06.heavy. I would not expect that. Certainly a high line. A nice drop.
:27:06. > :27:14.As he pushed too much? Summer marching, that. A bit of excitement.
:27:14. > :27:22.-- summer margin, that. 6-6 with one end left. It is a one end
:27:22. > :27:32.shoot-out for the first set. We always like those, did we?
:27:32. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:36.exciting finish. It all becomes a bit nervous. What I would say is
:27:36. > :27:41.that it Damien can sneak this, it would be a good set to win because
:27:41. > :27:51.his opponent made the early progress. He has scrambled back.
:27:51. > :27:51.
:27:51. > :28:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:28:55. > :29:05.Psychologically, it would be a good caresses the ball away. A tall
:29:05. > :29:05.
:29:05. > :29:09.young man. Good hand eye co- ordination. Very good. He had a
:29:09. > :29:15.really good line. Another 20 inches of weight and that would have been
:29:15. > :29:25.a great ball. A centre line with both deliveries. He has still got a
:29:25. > :29:39.
:29:39. > :29:49.both deliveries. He has still got a listening a little bit.
:29:49. > :29:51.
:29:51. > :29:55.Encouragement for Damien. Can he find a really good bowl here?
:29:55. > :30:05.problem is that it is easy to over correct when you are looking for
:30:05. > :30:06.
:30:06. > :30:10.half a metre. He must not push too much. Not bad. That will drop.
:30:10. > :30:17.bad but he has not quite killed it off. It is still there for his
:30:17. > :30:20.opponent. This is the one to do it with. The third delivery, so you do
:30:20. > :30:25.not have to play the last ball and you take all the pressure of
:30:25. > :30:35.yourself. This is going to have to hurry on that line. It looks narrow
:30:35. > :30:40.
:30:40. > :30:50.and short. Oh, dear. A nightmare. bad time to get that. A chance now
:30:50. > :31:15.
:31:15. > :31:20.for Damien to nail the jack and could wait. It is coming back. He
:31:20. > :31:25.has just missed the line and that is not where he wanted to drop. A
:31:25. > :31:31.couple of feet short would have been beneficial. That is a ball
:31:31. > :31:36.that can be used. He holds the first set but that is not sit here.
:31:36. > :31:41.His opponent has just got to draw be shot on the backhand. He has got
:31:41. > :31:50.a chance coming off and resting on that ball. He has got two or three
:31:50. > :31:57.options available. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. A chance for his
:31:57. > :32:03.opponent. He has given us a good look but has he pushed through too
:32:03. > :32:08.much? He is going to use the ball but not enough. He looked solid on
:32:08. > :32:18.that. He needed a thin edge but it will be Damien that will take the
:32:18. > :32:36.
:32:36. > :32:41.the second set. The third end was club. For many years this was a
:32:41. > :32:45.premier club in Wales, taking over from the Swansea City Centre as the
:32:45. > :32:55.Number One Club, I think it is fair to say now. But still some very
:32:55. > :33:05.good players in Cardiff. A nice club, yes. I have played there. A
:33:05. > :33:29.
:33:29. > :33:32.not move on to the forehand. A good resting ball. You think it would be
:33:33. > :33:42.easier to get to the ball down to the jack because of the pace of the
:33:43. > :33:48.
:33:48. > :33:55.rink. He could have rested on to the red. A chance for Damien. Ace
:33:55. > :34:05.certainly good line. But how is the weight? This is a good effort. That
:34:05. > :34:14.
:34:14. > :34:19.has stood up. Oh, yes. Very good. Yes, the chance was there for
:34:19. > :34:29.Damien. He had to play could wait. Not speed line of his last delivery
:34:29. > :34:42.
:34:42. > :34:48.and it has rested on the green and Absolutely no mercy when it comes
:34:48. > :34:53.to that. The ball is a little bit thin on the line. An interesting
:34:53. > :34:58.choice for Damien. A little bit of danger with that coming in on a
:34:58. > :35:04.similar line. He does not want to touch the jack. It has to
:35:04. > :35:12.beforehand. There is not any point in going there this. Try and dip it
:35:12. > :35:22.into the green. He would be unlucky to give the shot away. If he plays
:35:22. > :35:48.
:35:48. > :35:55.the backhand, it is far too great ball. That is very important,
:35:55. > :36:04.David because he has won that first set and is inching in crud.
:36:04. > :36:11.mother looks happy. -- inching in front. His dad is keeping his
:36:11. > :36:21.powder dry, just in case! From then on, he started to pull away and by
:36:21. > :36:31.
:36:31. > :36:39.the 8th end, he was on the verge of ball and he is there. That looks
:36:39. > :36:47.good enough. Yes, it is. Well done, Damien. Confirmation of how many
:36:47. > :36:51.shots, he has asked car. He has shots, he has asked car. He has
:36:51. > :36:56.beaten the singles champion, 2012. I struggled early doors and I
:36:56. > :37:02.managed to get a few close once in the end and just edged the first
:37:02. > :37:12.set and the second was a bit scrappy but I edged to bat as well.
:37:12. > :37:18.
:37:18. > :37:22.Congratulations to our new winner The Welsh indoor final, Youth
:37:22. > :37:26.Against experience. That is the way it is. He started well, the more
:37:26. > :37:31.experienced man was going well. Damian took a little while to
:37:31. > :37:37.settle. At this stage he had to play some big shots to get into
:37:37. > :37:40.trouble but he started to play his forms. If -- to get out of trouble.
:37:40. > :37:47.Getting stronger as the match went on. He has got him in a lot of
:37:47. > :37:56.trouble. This is the final delivery. Dropping back in, the match-winner,
:37:56. > :38:00.the 2012 champion, Damien Duff -- Damien. We are back tomorrow at
:38:00. > :38:04.1 o'clock and it is the chance for the new Welsh national champion to
