Following on from a fine mid-week friendly win against Walton we tasted success in the SML on Saturday with a 6-4 win against Strawberry Hill, albeit in trying circumstances. The visitors were only able to field 3 rinks and lacked women, something Sunbury is proud to say is anything but the case! The weekend was completed with a visit to Staines on Sunday, again in the SML, where we shared the spoils over the rinks at 2-2 but lost out overall on shot count for a 6-4 loss. Last year we suffered heavily on a green badly affected by leatherjackets; since then the green has been completely reset with great results.
The weekend got off to an encouraging start with our first Open Evening on Friday which was certainly a big success in terms of numbers with all rinks being used throughout. We’re hopeful that quite a few folk will follow through and join us. Thanks to everyone who helped .. the next opportunity is Saturday 17th 1-4pm.
