It was raining this morning so at 9.45am I started ringing around the usual players to cancel today’s game.    Nobody answered my calls so left messages.    Nevertheless, we went to the pitch in case anybody turned up and was delighted to find 3 members waiting for us.    The rain had stopped so we decided to carry on.   

We made two teams of 3 ladies and 2 gents and commenced play with the ladies kicking off and gents took the first end with one point with the ladies retaliating  with a good 2 on end two before another male member joined us.  Gents then took the upper hand scoring 1, 1, 3 and 1 before the ladies managed a further 2 making the scores 4 to 9.   

Amazingly, the gents then scored a SIX giving them the magic 13 points to win and so we then had time for a second game. 

Ladies started again with each team scoring 1 point each.  Scores were repeated on ends 3 and 4 making 2 points all.  The following two ends were won by the ladies with 1 point in each but the gents caught up with 2 points which was then duplicated by the ladies.    On the final 3 ends the gents won with 2, 3 and 4 points respectively giving them the winning total of 13 for the second time.

The rain held back throughout so it was a worthwhile morning of play.    My thanks to all those optimistic members who came along to play today.    Why not join them when we next play on the 22nd?        Ken.
