9 June - Home v Danbury 'C' - 2:6 League Points
A fine evening, up against the division leaders.
Rink 2 - Val, Tony, Mike and Rex
A string of seven consecutive won ends gave us a good lead 13:1 after 10 ends. We must have got a bit complacent as we lost five consecutive ends in the second half.
Final Result 15:11, winning 11 ends.
Rink 3 - Winston, Jim, John F and Jeff
A difficult game against a strong team. After winning the first two ends, we struggled and losing two sixes, a four and a three made the game unwinnable.
Final Result 5:29, winning 5 ends
*********************************************
2 June - Away v South Woodham Ferrers 'A' - 0:8 League Points

26 May - Away v Danbury 'B' - 7:1 League Points
A fine, very hot evening.

Leading for most of the game and aided by six shots on the 7th end, we were able to maintain our lead throughtout, despite winning fewer ends than Danbury.
Final Result 17:12, winning 8 ends.
Rink 2 - John F, Winston, Jeff and Brian (skip)
A very even game throughout with the lead changing continuously. Leading 14:12 after 16 ends, we were unfortunate to lose one shot on each of the last two ends, forcing a draw.
Final Result 14:14, winning 8 ends.
A good result! Well done team!

19 May - Away v RHP 'A' - 0:8 League Points
Rink 2 - Winston, John F, David S & Brian
Losing heavily in the first half of the game to be 4:12 down after nine ends. An excellent recovery in ends 14-17 to lead 17:14 after 17 ends. Unlucky to lose six shots on the final end.
Final Result: 17:20, winning 9 ends
Rink 3 - Tony, Jo, Mike & Val
Always on the back foot, failing to score until end 6, despite some good shots by all players. A couple of twos and a three just about kept us in the game.
