What a difference in the weather from yesterday!    An absolutely brilliantly sunny day in contrast and ideal for our game.   So warm, in fact, that I was perspiring at one point and removed my jacket.

We started with 4 players, two of each gender, so obviously ladies v laddies and off we began with gents winning the first end.    In to the second and joined by another couple, which was good, and played on.

No high scoring and by the close of the seventh end  the score was 3 to 4 in the laddies favour.    The laddies then made a break with a magnificent 3 but the ladies were not despondent and responded with a clever 2 points and by the end of the 12th game we were at a tense 9 all.    Over the next two ends the ladies shot forward with 3 more points which concentrated the laddies who girded up their loins (not a pretty sight) and scored a further 2 points and then repeated it thus becoming the overall winners.   

Another happy morning and an agreement to meet again on the 5th November, weather permitting.   Let the fireworks begin!      Ken.
