Connaught Yew lost to  Bradenham  50 - 54 and 2 - 6

 (Almost 4pts each – read below)

Rink 3 – Julie Warren, Barry Osborne, Colin Barton – 8 -23. Both Julie and Barry had some very good woods but the Skip was of little help.

Rink 5 – Lesley Parker, Chris Warren, Ken Ramsbottom – 25 -13. Both Lesley and Chris both bowled very well (Ken told me this on the way home). After the first few ends Ken found the line and bowled very well. After 12 ends the score was 10 shots each. Then the Connaught triple surged ahead with a 4 on end 13 and finishing with 6 on end 18. Very well done.

Rink 4 – Ann Watkins, Cliff Smith, Trevor Burt – 17 -18. The Connaught triple  bowled extremely well throughout and only lost on the final end. I know they were very disappointed not at least to tie their match. However, it was a great match. Well Done.

Thank you to all team members for your support,

Next game Weeting – Home – 6.30pm start.

Rink 3 Played really well. After 8 ends only 5-7 down but a 6 on end 9 made a comeback extremely difficult especially as the weather intervened.

Rink 4 After 6 ends score was 1-5 but a 4 on end 7 again made a comeback difficult.

Rink 5 After 5 ends score was 4-4 but 5 on end 6 made a comeback difficult. However, the team did not give up and with 4 on end 9, a 2 on ends 10 and 11 made the game extremely close (12-14). What a great fight back. Shame the weather intervened.

Again, I feel we have an extremely strong team spirit and I know that as a team we are playing better now than at the start of the season.

Thanks to all team members.
