Day 2 was going to be an exciting day one way or another hopefully we could keep up our great start and win our last two games and also I was going to be assessed to get a classification so that I could get to play for England in proper international matches not just friendlies so we got ready for our first game of two for the 2nd day being joint top with 6 pts but having had one more game than the other team, we kept the same order me leading and Chris skip and a quick start we kept the pressure on the other team and we won 23 - 0 a game where everything went our way so we now had 8 points and our nearest team won there game so were on 8 pts also we had 1 game left the others had two it was two close to call. Now we had a break and lunch so during in the break I was asked to go for my classification tests first was the medical part to see if my disability fell in line with the rules for classification which i was told it did so then I did tests on the green to judge how my disability affected the way I bowled then they would watch me bowl in our last game. And so before we started our last game we had now all played 5 games we were joint top with 8 pts as the other team top had lost they 5th game to close to call this one and so the last games started and I think because I knew I was being watched for something I really wanted my bowls game went to pot and I was all over the place for the first 4 ends lucky for me Chris kept us in the game and I pulled myself together and we managed to win by 3 shots after a great game so we finished on 10 pts and the other team lost so we had won , I really couldn't believe it and I was still in shock when they told me I had passed the classification so I'm now a permanent B6. WOW the best weekend ever. Thank you to Chris and the other teams for the great games.
