MEN MISS OUT IN HANTS AND BERKS

Playing at Howard Park, in the semi final of the District Knockout Cup, Oakley's Men trailed 11-13 after 5 ends and by 10 ends opponents Basingstoke Town had moved out to an eleven shot lead. Strong scoring over the next 5 ends saw Oakley establish a 38-33 lead but the remainder of the game was disappointing.
