Reports Basildon "B"

10th May - Away v Wickford 'B'

Won 65 - 39 shots (5-2 League Points)

A warm sunny evening, although after recent wet weather, the green was still quite heavy.

Rink 2 Catherine, Roy, Jon B (Skip) completely outclassed their opponents, winning 11 ends with some heavy scoring. Final result 31-8.

Rink 3 Mike S, Lorraine, Winston (Skip) after scoring a 3 on the first end and a no-score tie on end 2, were fairly level with their opponents for most of the match, being 9-9 after twelve ends.  However, a good run of wins in the last four ends, culminating in a 5 on the final end thanks to some great shots by Winston, sealed a good result.  Final Result 21-11.

Rink 5 Heather, Christine, David B (Skip) had a more difficult match on a very bumpy and unpredictable rink. Although leading up to end 12, the opposition continually cast maximum length jacks which caused our team some difficulties towards the end of the match. Final result 13-20.

Another good result. Once again, well done team!
