Monday the 20th and just 3 shots away from a excellent win. That’s how it was for our Explorers away against La Siesta Pioneers today, we won 2 trips and lost 3, 1 by 1 shot 17-18, and one by 2 shots 17-15, our 2 winning trips however Kath Manning, Carol Smith & Peter Parsons 20-15, and Anne Stone, Jim Reeves and Alex Whyte 30-8 carried enough shots (92-79) to carry the 2 points to give us a 6-6 draw.
Our Pathfinders were at home to Emerald Isle Titans and when you see skip names of Marks, Lindgreen, Gerrard, Perrin & Cavangh you know you are in for a difficult morning and that is how it worked out. We came away with 3 points a winning trip of Dave & Lesley Joynes with John Rae who won 20-19 and a drawing trip of Audrey Birch, Norman Ship & Gath Slater 15 each, but with a shot difference of 62-116 against us, 3 hard won points was good result.
Friday – Southern League, Division 1 our Sharks are 3rd from bottom with 3 games to play, 2 of these against the top 2 teams and Vistabella Lanzadores whom we played this week. All however did not bode well and we came away with Friday’s game 0 points. Perhaps we can end the season with a blast and give those 2 table toppers who we have yet to meet a nasty surprise.
The Seagulls who are comfortably placed in the upper half of their Div 2 and this week played away to San Miguel Navajos who are just 1 point above, however today’s result would not have suggested that, we came away with just 2 points thanks to Irene Mangan, Trevor Stemp and John Rae with a win of 20-13. The final shot difference was 54-129 in the Navajos favour.
