Saturday saw us travel to Southam for what should have been our return game against them, only they could not come to us, as they could not raise a team.  The game, as usual with them, is a 2.0pm start but as it is the only one at this time during the season, there were a couple of late arrivals, but we were only about 10 minutes late starting and we won convincingly 72-49.

Rink 2  -  Lead  -  Jill Hart

               No. 2  -  Paul Christmas

               No. 3  -  Claudia Stokes

               Skip    -  Mark Stokes

Mark's rink were never in any difficulty and won 12 of the 18 ends to win very comfortably 20-11.

Rink 3  -  Lead  Chris Shallis

               No. 2  -  Steve Clarke

               No. 3  -  Tony Bird

               Skip    -  Iain Mobbs

After losing the first 2 ends Iain's rink took control winning 10of the remaining 16 ends and again won very comfortably 19-13.

Rink  4  -  Lead  -  Kath Buckingham

                No. 2  -  John Timms

                No. 3  -  Tina Timms

                Skip    -  Bryan Ogilvie

The Captain's rink were well and truly beaten, after 9 ends they were 11-1 down, they did put up some resistance over the remaining 9 ends, but could not make up this deficit and went down 12-16.

Rink 5  -  Lead  Pete Walden

               No. 2  -  Yvonne Twomey

               No. 3  -  Howard Buckingham

               Skip    -  Chris Twomey

Chris's rink took a strangle hold of the game from the off and after 6 ends were 9-0 ahead and they only let the opposition win 6 of the 18 ends and took the honours for the day, winning 21=9.

A very nice afternoon both weather wise and result wise.  The green played very well and, although they failed to come to us at the start of the season I do not think we should drop them from future fixtures.
