DISAPPOINTMENT IN MORETON PLATE
Oakley's Men made a promising start in yesterday morning's Moreton Plate game against an Old Basing team playing an ineligible lady. After 5 ends they were losing narrowly but by half way Oakley had an eight shot lead with John Wilson's rink leading 10-4 and Dave Harrison 9-7. This lead had by 15 ends been reduced to one shot but the next 5 ends proved calamitous with Oakley scoring only one shot to Basing's 12 and despite both rinks defiantly picking up scores of 4 on the 21st end Oakley went down 36-38.
Oakley scores: Eric Lamkin, John Ryan, Duncan Wilkins and Dave Harrison won 22-17, Dave Clewer, Ed Jesney, Bob Goodyear and John Wilson lost 14-21
