Well well well! You couldn’t ask for things to be any closer after two matches. Here’s what happend and how it has shaped the league positions.
On Rink 6 it was Dave against Steve, with Dave a player down. Straight out the blocks it looks like Steve aimed to take advantage of the extra sweeping and took a four. But don’t write Dave off quite so fast dear reader, sometimes three is better than four if they get their collective eye in and in the second end Dave replied with a four! Pretty much nip and tuck through ends three and four with Dave edging ahead 6-5. Looks like all that action took its toll as the speed of play slowed down and singles were scored in the remaining three ends. Significantly all of them were in Dave’s favour and the match ended after seven ends at 9-5.
A full house of players on Rink 5 as Joe and Jim faced off for the first time in this league. A steady single from Joe, followed by a two which was equalled by Jim in the third end. However a two in the fourth gave Joe a three shot cushion at the halfway mark. Jim took a single but that was enough for Joe. He got the elbows out, racking up four shots in the next three ends to win an eight end match by an impressive 9-3.
Looking at the league table there’s hardly a wee wick between them. Everyone has won one game, it’s almost equal on ends and it’s fair to say that positions don’t count for much at the moment.......although Joe might disagree, he’s top dog this week!
