There were three rinks in operation on Sunday.

On rink three, Tina Barrett, Joe Hasson and Ian Barrett were against Grace Gleeson, Ken Peace and Tom O’brien. Tom and his crew struggled with the pace of the green and were behind all the way.

On rink four, Shirley Gravenall, Dan Speer and Paul Rich were against Errol Shuttleworth,

Daniel Dunne and Harry Bartlett. Paul and his team were handling the conditions better and came away with a comfortable win.

On rink five, Betty Johnstone, Laurie Laidlow and Arthur Balkin played Ken Cowan, Jack Scholes and Bill Bowen. Arthur was consistently successfully playing conversion shots.

The club AGM is to be held on Sunday at 9am and it is important members attend.
