In the South Alicante winter league div 1, Pearls visited near neighbours San Luis, where they fought out a creditable 6-6 draw. Not only did these 2 rinks win, but overall shots were secured – M Highland, T & P Morgan 25-15. G Carnell, V Campbell, F Roberts 23-11.
Diamonds also had a 6-6 draw, but they had 3 winning rinks, but inferior shots difference. At home to Greenlands Chestnuts, here’s the point scorers – D Benson, C Lowry, A Benson 15-10. A Bowen, B Elliott, K Lowry 20-18. C Skinner, P Farrell, G Skinner 21-19.
Top of div 3, Rubies are full of confidence at the moment, and once again they came up with the goods. Vistabella Eagles were the visitors, and although they fought valiantly, they were no match for Joe’s gang, who triumphed 7-5. That’s the way to do it – J Cleal, M Holmes, D Riley 15-15. S Johnston, B & L Miller 38-7. T Brinton, C Bowles, A Reid 20-17.
Friday’s Southern league results paled into insignificance compared to our Monday crew. Swallows had a bye, but they still lead div A, and have a game in hand. But, in div B, both our teams were in action.
Swifts must have had a turbulent flight down to San Miguel, for those pesky Navajos claimed quite a few scalps. Only the trips of neighbours S Johnston, plus Mr & Mrs Miller 30-8, found the going easy, for a 2-10 reversal has seriously damaged hopes of being champions of div B.
Things are going swimmingly for those majestic Swans, who continue to grind away important results. Against La Siesta Blues, they not only won on 2 rinks, but added 2 bonus points by securing overall shots by 4.
So, a 6-6 draw means it’s status quo at the top, but there’s still a few matches to go, and they have played a game more than nearest rivals. Get in there – H Olsen, D Gould, B Rees 27-12. L Armstrong, P Bottle, T Voisey 23-11.
