Maldon A Division 1
Fixtures 2026
May
Tuesday 12th Home v Tiptree Jobserve A - Maldon A opened their season with a home fixture against Tiptree Jobserve. The rink of newcomer Paul Callow, and seasoned members Carole Ash, William Wallis and skip Dave Torrice were quickly into the game. A fairly close first nine ends saw Maldon leading by 11 shots to 7 before pulling away to lead 20 shots to 9 with 3 ends to go. Tiptree then pulled back to give a final score of 20 - 16. All four played well with Paul Callow at lead looking very much at home. The other rink of Ken Varney, Cherry Richardson, Colin Wall and skip Kevin Cornwell had a close game up to the fifteenth end, leading 10-8. But Maldon then pulled away over the final three ends to finish with a 17 - 9 win.
A typical performance from all four bowlers, all playing well and contributing to a hard-fought but well-deserved win. So an excellent start to the league campaign with a 8-0 points victory. Well done to all eight bowlers.
Tuesday 19th Away v Chelmsford A - the A team travelled to Chelmsford to play against very strong opposition.
The rink of Paul Callow, Cherry Richardson, Ron Thackray and Tony Wallis had a superb result. 1 - 7 down after 7 ends, they pulled back to lead 9 - 7 after 11 ends and from there they totally out bowled the Chelmsford four to run out winners by 19 shots to 11. A fantastic performance.
The other rink with Paul Brooks, Carole Ash, Steve Morrison and Dave Torrice were not so fortunate. After 13 ends they were 6 - 14 down, but holding 4 on the 14th. However the last wood came in and cut it down to one shot. At 7 - 14 it was too much to pull back and the final score was 8 - 20.
So a loss of 2 - 6 by 4 shots. No disgrace considering the quality of the Opposition.
