Tuesday saw us play our first evening game of the season and despite threatening clouds, and a few drops of rain, we managed to complete 18 ends in the dry.  Kidlington looked upon the match as a practice for Thursday's fixture as they are visiting us again for the first round of the League Cup.  It proved to be a very close game as we lost by two points 55 - 57.  We look forward to the rematch on 3rd June and thanks must be given to Jenny Bird, ably assisted by Tony, in the running of the bar.

There were many good comments on the new changing rooms and I would recommend anyone who hasn't, to look at the photos on the web site showing the various stages of the construction.

Mick Wilkins, Richard Lawrence, Graham Tyrrell and Bryan Ogilvie

This was a game of three thirds as at 12 ends we were  5 - 16 down but a recovery was staged when we picked up five of the last six ends to hand in a score of 11 - 17.

Rink 2

At 11 ends we were 10 - 4 up and cruising but only managed to win one more end resulting in a loss by a single point 12 - 13.
