This was always going to be a tough match against the team who won the league last year and are leading it this. And so it proved to be.
On Wendy’s rink, with Mike W, Phil and Lin, we didn’t get off to a good start, but after 8 we had levelled at 6-6. However, the next 3 ends determined the match and we couldn’t recover, despite getting 3 off the last 2 ends. 11-18 down.
On Ian’s rink, with Marek, Kev and Pete, it was very well contested, still 8-9 after 14, but conceding a 3 on 16 (there had only been 3 2’s in the previous 15 ends) again took the game away. We salvaged a 1 on the last end to make it 9-13.
On Nick’s rink, with the Daves, H, E, and S, it was very even after 12, but then SLAT took the game away with a 2 and a 3, and then it was difficult to get back into the contest. Final score 9-13.
I thought that this was a tremendous effort against a very strong side, and, at the risk of repeating myself, let’s stay positive. Thanks to everyone!
