Monday 11th December - Monte Mar Toreadors v San Luis Trekkers

With so many players away we only had four teams, so we were deducted point and shots. It wasn’t a good result for the Toreadors as we lost on all rinks. Hopefully we will have better results in the New Year.

Monte Mar Matadors v Vistabella Albatrosses. During the match we had some rain which seemed to affect the Matadors more than the Albatrosses.
