Match Reports

Mrs Clifford King Challenge Cup - 6th June

Congratulations to Bruno (Brian) Sturman, Ivan Freedman and Ivan Howman for their success in this season's tournament. 

After playing in the rain for the entire morning session the rink went into the lunchbreak with a 100% winning record and a healthy shot difference. Following lunch they continued their winning ways and, after only being behind for one end during the whole tournament, finished with a maximum eight points and a positive shot difference of twenty-eight.

This is the first season for many years in which the Club has entered the tournament and the first time they have won it since 1987. Previous wins in this tournament were in 1981, 1979 and 1975 when it was shared with Aylsham.
