Tuesday’s First Side played at home against Croydon under extreme weather conditions.
We had a late start due to rain, had to stop a couple of times due to rain and then stop again for hail before finishing off in sunshine.
We sure do get four seasons in one day.
But the rain, hail and shine didn’t help us and we went down by 27 shots, 44/71.
Tuesday’s Second Side was to play away at Chirnside Park, but the team managers got together and said you may as well stay in bed, giving both sides eight points. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Saturday’s First Side played away at Ringwood who were lavishing on the bottom of the ladder, so it was a must win for us to keep our fifth spot.
Two rinks were doing really well while two rinks were struggling.
It came down to the wire but wish Woosha’s rink and Adrian’s rink we got home with a win by five shots 78/73.
Gerda Otto, Mick Featherstone, Robyn Turville, Adrian Beales – 22/18.
Col Jarvis, Steve Graham, Rita Featherstone, Mark Ward – 31/4.
Russell Smith, Ian Milgate, Steve Bulled, Robert Ayres – 15/31.
Bob Brown, Anne Knibbs, Rob Broadhurst, Gary Broussard – 10/20.
Saturday’s Second Side played Yarra Junction at Yarra Junction.
The green is renowned for its pace so it was going to be a challenge for our team, even though we were sitting on top of the ladder with Yarra Junction in second Place.
Yarra Junction gained the upper hand early in the piece and we didn’t have any momentum all day going down by 75 shots, 98/23.
Jim Viggers, Karl Tok, Glenda Graham, John Howard – 8/37.
John Allen, Barry parker, Sarah Gallacher, Mike Adams – 6/39.
Judy Wallace, John McMillan, Kenny Gallacher, Bernard Godde – 9/22.
