Our first B&D home match of the season, against our good friends from Knyveton. After all the bad weather we’ve had this week, the green was playable, but was very soft & heavy, so we had to use rinks 5/6, which were the driest on the green. The green did start to dry out & improve as the match went on, but it really was very hard work today.
Rink 6 – Janet, Steve & Paul – Won 37-5. Home advantage was evident here & by Paul’s own admission, he was very pleased with the way Janet & Steve played! We were never behind, winning 14 ends in total. This included a 6, 4×4 & 2×3. An excellent team performance & a welcome boost to our poor shot difference. Well done guys.
Rink 5 – Peggy, Lewis & Ivan – Lost 15-16. Each team won 9 ends each. They had a 4 & 4×2, whilst we scored a brilliant 5 on end 17 to take the lead 15-14. Sadly, we then played a very poor final end, conceded a 2 & lost the match 15-16.
The overall match score was Bustards 52 v 21 Kestrels. We are still in the bottom half of the table, but we do now have a +14 shot difference.
Next week we are away to Pelham Sea Horses, who are currently bottom of the league.
