Mat 2 With Di leading well and Sylvia capitalising they were 12-0 up after 6 ends Carter changed positions and fought back with a 5 on end 7  and a single then Connaught scored 2x2' to lead 16-6 after 10 ends but lost the last 5 ends, 4 by singles and a 4 on the last end won 8 ends.

2nd half

Mat 1 Up against Gary and Jean knew they had to play well and they did but just could not stop the Carter pairing from scoring, 2x4's and a 3, did the damage whilst containing the other scoring ends to singles, a consolation 2 on the last and losing a measure for the third which would have drawn the match ended a very enjoyable game.

Mat 2 Combined well and were leading 13-7 after 11 ends and hopes were high for our first win but was not to be as Carter upped their game and won the remaining ends to win.

At one stage it was looking like our first win, but not to be as the class of Carter showed, a very enjoyable game and although disappointed to lose, pleased to see the team playing so well.
