On Monday the Raiders had a bye, whilst the Pintos were at La Siesta playing their Apollos. The match on the whole was closer in play than the scores may infer, as is often the case. Hence the Pintos came away without a point, but we enjoyed the company, so a good day after all.

Chris Ziepe, John Ziepe and Bob Taylor 15-16. Sheila Cox, Malc Sykes and Mike Cox 15-28. Brian Harris, Diane Yates and Richard Lee 12-20. Lesley Day, Ngaio Baldwin and Pete Baldwin 11-31.

Friday morning found the Mustangs at La Siesta playing their Blues and performing very well to take 3 rinks, but just failing to take the overall shots, a good away result.

Of course, as we know you can play well and lose, it very much depends on your opponent’s play as much as your own and some rinks are certainly the better for knowing.

Sheila Cox, Malc Sykes and Mike Cox 19-13. Brian Harris, Diane Yates and Richard Lee 7-28. Pam Harris, Ngaio Baldwin and Pete Baldwin 15-14. Ann Taylor, John Ziepe and Bob Taylor 21-12.

The Broncos meanwhile were at home to Country Bowls playing the Panthers, taking one rink and with another two close run.

Bill Johnston, Janet Wright and David Wright 16-18. Colin Fleming, Brian Gilham and Jim Eastwood 12-17. Francis Johnston, Sheila Millward and Dave Haynes 6-42. Sean Hoverd, David Baker and Judy Foley 22-11.
