Second round of the NF Aussie pairs, against Ringwood pair Derick & Derrick. Neil had warned me that they were good. When we were 0-9 down after 6 ends, I understood exactly what he meant! It wasn’t that we played badly, but they just kept on producing consistently good shots & kept on knocking out our scoring bowls. There just was no let up, no respite. That’s the standard we need to aspire too.
We finally got on the board on the 7th end with a 2 & we also won ends 10/11 with singles. However, after end 14 when we 4-20 behind, we agree to call it a day.
This really was a chastening experience, as they really were so much better than us, but we did get through one round & that gave us the opportunity to play on the Ringwood green, which is awesome.
Wishing the two D’s all the best in the next round.
