Men vs Women
After a resounding loss last year the men were looking to get back to winning ways this year. Sunbury has a very strong women’s section and the men would definitely have to up their game.
A beautiful afternoon saw narrow one point wins for each of the men and women on two of the rinks. The men took another rink by 6 points but crucially the women won on the the last rink by 7 points to take the match overall 60-59.
The men will have to dust themselves off and come out fighting again next year.
A friendly at Woodlands
We enjoyed a super afternoon at the recent friendly at Woodlands. We somehow managed to win on 2 rinks and lose on 1 but the winner was the weather and the bonhomie. There was also a first for Cassie .. a small drink during the mid-play break!
