2026 Match Reports

Friday 22nd May        Castle Point C 1-2   Points gained 5

A clear blue sky, warm temperatures and good green and as always an enthusiastic team. we were rewarded with 5 points. If it wasn't for an unfortunate shot on end  13 by me that sprung the jack to take rink 3 from1 up to 4 down and hence a 3 shot deficit at the end otherwise we would have had a full house.

Rink 3  Roy, Maureen, Lynn It was close in the first half and by end 12 we were leading 10-9. At end 13 we were holding but my over weighted draw shot sprung the jack away in the direction of the opposition and we lost 4 shots. At end 14 we were only 1 behind but despite winning two more ends, we only managed 1 shot on each and hence lost by 3.

Rink 4 Sarah, Bob, Ian. They lost the first end by 5 and the second by 3. But not to be disheartened their determination kicked  in and by end 6 were only 2 behind. however end 7 and 8 saw the opposition score 3 on each to lead 7-14. gradually the tide turned and by end 17 it was 16-16 and yes we got the last end to win 17-16...well done to you three.

Rink 5 Katrina, Mike, Sue This result was never in doubt with Billericay leading all the way and romping home to  an 18-10 win to endure we got the bonus point

Overall a better result than the first meeting with South Benfleet.

A big thank you to Michelle for stepping at the last minute in otherwise we would not have been able to put out a full team.
