Sunbury enjoyed a surprising win against Cambridge Park in the South Middlesex league this week. Up against some very strong players including internationals, Sunbury won on 3 rinks and points overall for a 8-2 win. It’s perhaps unfair to single out any one player as all played well but let’s just say someone summoned up the energy to play twice. Having endured a marathon 26 ends in a Men’s Handicap game in the morning he then played another 18 ends in the afternoon team match. A super effort from our oldest playing member .. hat’s off to Charlie!

We’re moving into the last week before Finals Weekend on 4-5th Sept – there’s been some great performances this week and probably more to come with semi-finals in full flow. Congratulations to Karen who has reached the final of all four Women’s events and more .. she’s made the Competitions Secretary’s job of scheduling the Finals weekend a nightmare! The website is up to date with all results – Mens 2021 – Womens 2021 – Junior Championship 2021 – Open Handicap 2021
