Unfortunately, Friday’s results weren’t quite as good as of Monday, but good enough. Table topping Swallows had a home match against near neighbours Greenlands Oaks. Although they won on 3 rinks, they lost overall by only 2 shots, to draw the match 6-6. Big
thanks go out to M & C Highland, P Morgan 19-11. G Carnell, V Campbell, M Ward 24-12. T Morgan, M France, Jason P 19-12.
Away at El Rancho against Mustangs, Swans won on 2 rinks, but won overall by 3 shots. L Armstrong, P Bottle, T Voisey 26-7. H Olsen, P & B Rees 25-13, were the points scorers.
Finally, Swifts lost further ground in their quest to overtake Swans at the top of div B. A 4-8 defeat at Vistabella against Picadors was not what the doctor ordered. These 2 winning rinks saved the day – K Gordon, D Collings, A Reid 27-14. S Johnston, B & L Miller 16-10.
