Rink 6 Steve, Edith,Lynn Rink 6 going away from the club house was indeed a challenge and hard to read but nevertheless not a result to be proud of. Corringham led from the start and a "HOT SHOT" on end 11 sealed our defeat. we rallied and won the last 5 ends, a small consolation.
Thursday 8th May AWAY Runwell Defeat 1-2
Runwell's green was in good condition albeit playing quite slow. The weather was clear with a biting wind but we won the toss so Billericay C was hoping for a change of fortune from last week. Everyone played with determination and it was a good close game .
A score of 7 on end 9 allowed rink 6 take the lead and ultimately win their rink convincingly. Rink 5 were defeated by just 2 shots and on rink 4 a fortunate shot on the last end saw a Billericay 1 shot lead change to a 1 shot loss. A positive shot difference saw us take the bonus point, so a three point result. Lets hope this improvement continues. Well done everyone.

Rink 5 Chris H, Edith, Sue Lost 15-17 and drew 9-9 on ends
Rink 6 John J, Bob B, Bob L won 19-10 and 10-8 on ends
