Having travelled into Warwickshire we were treated to a rare phenomenon, not The Northern Lights, but an even rarer event - a hefty rain shower which saw us leave the green for about 10 minutes to seek shelter.  We played three rinks and given that they had a big home advantage regarding the green we lost 1 rink to 2 and by 11 points 44 - 55.  This was very much in line with the previous game which saw them win by 12 points.

 

Rink 1

Peter Walden, Yvonne Twomey, David Bryant and Chris Twomey were trailing 11 - 18 after 15 ends but managed to halve the ends and whilst giving away two fours trumped the opposition with two fives to come home victors 20 - 18.

 

Rink 2

Terri Gold, Tony Bird, Richard Lawrence and Iain Mobbs got off to a slow start and a couple of threes added a degree of respectability to their score of 13 - 18.

 

Rink 3

Steve Clarke, Chris Shallis, Mick Wilkins and Bryan Ogilvie were 0 - 9 down at six ends but they managed to find their form and whilst they didn't score a single all evening four twos and a three got them into double figures to come home 11 - 19.

 

An enjoyable evening and we were well looked after for a late supper and even the rain gave the cars a quick wash which in these hosepipe ban days is a bonus!
