For a nice change we had lovely sunshine for the afternoon, it's a pity the result was not as lovely, but everyone enjoyed the game and the score does not reflect how the game was contested.

 

 

 

Rink 1  -  Lead  -  Tina Timms

 

               No. 2  -  John Timms

 

               Skip    -  Bryan Ogilvie

 

We started the game very positively and after 6 ends were leading 8-2, but the opposition clawed their way back and with 4 ends to play we were just 1 shot behind.  However on 2 of the ends we were holding 1 shot with 1 wood to go and the Captain hit the 'Jack' on both occasions and succeeded in giving away 1 shot on the 16th and 3 shots on the 17th. Meaning we lost the game 12-19.  (Message to Captain "leave the Jack alone!).

 

 

 

Rink 2  -  Lead  -  Jill Hart

 

               No. 2  -  Phil French

 

               Skip    -  Mark Stokes

 

A very close fought game throughout with never more than 2 shots in it and with 1 end to play we were 1 shot adrift, but unfortunately lost the end by 1 shot thereby losing the game 12-14.

 

 

 

Rink 4  -  Lead  -  Yvonne Twomey

 

               No. 2  -  Chris Shallis

 

               Skip    -  Chris Twomey

 

After 9 ends Chris's rink were 10-5 ahead but they conceded 4 shots on ends 11,12 and 13 and could not come back from this and unfortunately lost the game 12-20.

 

 

 

Rink 5  -  Lead  -  Claudia Stokes

 

               No. 2  -  Terri Gold 

 

               Skip    -  Dave Bryant

 

The only success of the afternoon belongs to Dave's rink and, although they were 6-11 down after 13 ends they picked up 11 shots over the last 5 ends to run out winners 17-13.

 

 

 

An enjoyable afternoon with good weather and good company and it is a shame that we only play them once each season, hopefully we can try and adjust this if fixtures allow.
