Your intrepid reporter had to miss yet another game this week but was able to watch from rinkside for the second half of the matches and it was great to see each one developing after the high scoring matches of last week.
Jim was up against Steve and the score does not reflect the needle match that was going on end after end. The complete opposite of last week’s big ends, singles were scored in each of the seven ends. My on ice sources were keeping me updated regarding the state of play at the far end and there were opportunities for big scores on both sides, being pipped by final stones doing just enough.
Frustratingly from Jim’s perspective those last stones were not sliding his way and he had to wait until the sixth end before he got on the scorecard. It ended 6-1 to Steve. We have to thank two friends from Disnae for stepping in at the last minute to ensure we had seven players on the ice.
Over on the other rink it was a similar story, lots of last stones deciding the end and my sources reported that strong heads were being built but accurate deliveries were nicking the points. It was Joe against David and the run of play was frustrating for some and encouraging for others. Much like the other match the scoring was one sided, in Joe’s favour, it was end five before David recorded a score. This was a tactical match and either side could have triumphed. After eight ends Joe came out on top 9-3 but it could have been very different.
In the league Joe has a two point lead over Steve and he’s only dropped two points........to Steve. Guess who plays who next week! But don’t write off David or Jim either. Looking at the results over the last four weeks you can’t predict what’s going to happen when these four teams take to the ice.
So log in next week to see the latest instalment 😉🏆
