HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Let’s hope it’s a good one.
An update on the recent matches played on Friday and Saturday:
The Mason Trophy was played on Friday morning, one rink at home and one away to Malvern. At home, it was a very exciting game which ended in a draw. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the same away where we lost by 12 shots.
It was a similar story on Saturday for our men, who were all playing in the area final of the Denny Cup on a neutral green at Daventry IBC against Huntingdon. Two rinks won, and two lost, resulting in an overall loss by 11 shots.
So we’ll both have to start all over again later this year. Looking forward to it.
However, on Saturday afternoon, MidGlos was playing away at and against Malvern. MidGlos won 107/79.
Cath Black reports:
Our highest winning rink (Kim May, Stan Lister and John Cox) had a cracking game, winning 29/8.
Shot of the day, however, must go to John Black. Last end they were down 16/12…. Malvern were holding 2, and John came in with his last wood of the game…hit the jack sweet so knocking both shots out of play, scoring 6 shots to win the game!!! Brilliant play. Well done, John.
The next friendly is this Wednesday, the 7th, against GIBC. 2.00 p.m. start.
