We Are The Champions

 The last match of the Spring League was played on Tuesday night.

We had two substitutes, so thanks to Richard and to Valerie from Disnae for turning out to what was an experience for all, some good, some bad :-(

This was the league decider. if Margaret won, Team A were Champions. If Jim won, it would be Team B. I didn't want to consider the outcomes if the match was peeled!

Things got off to promising start for the C Team, taking a two having dominated the first end. That promise was very quickly replaced by deflation when, with the last stone from Margaret, the score changed from a single to Team C into a seven (say it quietly) to the A Team.

Undeterred but slightly bruised, the Red stones went back down the ice to the end they preferred. Once again they took control and notched up a three! Cutting the deficit to just two felt a lot better........for all of about fifteen minutes!

Once again with last stone Margaret delivered a marvellous shot which, even though it was a Plan B result, was way better than hoped for, kicked a Red stone way, rolled into the four foot and before you could blink......a four!

That really took the wind out the C Team's sails but they battled on, losing a single in the fifth it started to look like too high a mountain to climb. However a two followed and a three in the last end meant the three Skips and an ever accurate Ben proved to strong a combination for the battling Team C.

The result confirmed a huge victory for the A Team and winners of the Spring League. Congratulations to Margaret and her Team, Bill, Sue, Ben and all those who subbed throughout the league.
