Redland v Page Park Sports (Home) – Won 64-40 (10 Points)
The following report was written by Pete Jones:
Heading into this fixture was going to be interesting, both teams at the top of the table.
Keith’s rink, with Rick, Martin Snailham (making a fine debut in the NE) and Vince built a steady lead which they were never going to relinquish, especially after securing a couple of 4 shot ends at 9 and 10.
Editor’s Note: See B&D Report for this week for Kevin French’s “words of wisdom” on this subject! 🙂
Final score 24-14.
Likewise, Mike Ingham’s rink, with Mike White, Barry and Nigel, built a slow, but confident lead and really ran away in the 12th and 13th ends with 2 consecutive 3 shot ends. Final score 19-9.
Jake, Mark Dixon, Dave Sunter and Pete, struggled for a while, 15-5 down after 12 ends. Others looking at this rink were resigned to a mere 8-2 win, but then we came back to win with 3, 6, 5, on the next 3 ends. Final score 21-17.
This was a very encouraging victory. With debutants each week making their mark, we should be confident about the next few weeks, despite some players being unavailable.
