7.11.25 SEK League match versus St Michaels Angels
Skipper Tom with Ron & Geoff
This was an away match that the Captain made an error, that being they were not expecting us. However, they rallied and formed a team and we went ahead. Mat was extremely tricky in that it was very fast and one side fairly straight, the other a massive swing. We took half match getting to grips with it, we lost 10:13 but we were 10 down at one point, so the team did well to rally back to the score.
Thursday 13th November saw two Home matches with all three mats involved in Competition matches. Sorry to those club members who could not play in a roll up, I will try not to have that again. Matches are organised by the leagues, not the Captain.
First Match against Ham street Westies saw the Harriers win by 12:9. Sipper Tom with Geoff and Alan played well and came home with a win.
The other match versus Ryarsh Rogues took place on the other two mats. Skipper Anthony with Lesley and Ken also played well. The other mat Skipper Ron with De and Judith. Both leads played very well and due to the new handicap system, although we won overall, with the handicap we lost by one shot. However, we did score 2 points of 6, so all was not in vain. Well played to all those who took part.
Next Match is Sunday 16th November at Snodland Community Hall. Skipper Anthony with De and Judith, and Skipper Ron with Lesley and Ken. Result to follow. The Match at Snodland gave us an incite on the standard we need to achieve. The Match Score was Skipper Ron's team lost 20:5 and Skipper Anthony lost 19:10. The handicap reduced the score slightly, but playing against County players we were left wanting. Those who played certainly learned lots and we will take this on to our next matches.
