There were also opening round exits in the triples for rinks skipped by Pat Reynolds and Catherine Popple.

Popple, with Angie Morton and Sarah Newson, lost 11-15 to the Isle of Wight, while there were three generations in the Reynolds rink with daughter Emma Thurston and her 11-year-old daughter Keira, who was a substitute, at the front end, and they only lost on the last end, 12-14 to Warwickshire.

Parkway pair Sophie Morton and Merisha McKernan were beaten 4-20 by Devon in the first round of the under 25 pairs, while Trevor Collins and Tony Scarr, also from Parkway, lost 11-28 to Oxfordshire in the opening round of the men’s senior pairs.
