Both rinks had full teams on this week (yes I know 😗)
Rink three saw Steve against Alison stepping into Joes shoes. Both teams had their eye in early on and it was tight for the first four ends. Two ends each and all square at 2-2 at that point. But Alison put the foot down and built up well guarded heads in ends five and six. Before you could say “we need a take out” Alison had a 9-2 lead and looked comfortable for the win. Steve came back in the seventh with a two and the match ended at 9-4. It was a tight game with not much in it and goes to show how the odd shot can turn a match. Well played Alison, Joe couldn’t have done better!
Meanwhile Dave and Jim were doing their best to replicate last weeks ding dong matches trading shots and ends. Not quite the symmetrical scoring as they took two ends each to sit all square at 3-3 after four ends. The trend continued for the next three ends each one a single and Jim took the seventh end to win 5-4. No doubt Dave was hoping they’d play an eighth but time was against him and the possibility of a “repeel” has passed.
Once again this week the games were both close and exciting. The league is starting to take shape. Joe is still on top, whilst Dave and Steve have swapped places. Almost at the halfway point, too early to call. So come back next week to see whose making gains and whose fighting back!
