Match Reports, Short Mat
24 /11 Barham Bears vs Spitfires On Monday Spitfires visited Barham. Pat Knight, Marianne and John Offer got off to a slow start but managed to win 7 of the 15 ends. Unfortunately, the Bears had the greater shot difference winning 22-15. Spitfires second team struggled with the Barham mats and went down 15-10. No excuses but Spitfires reported that the floor at Barham had been re-laid and there was a physical drop between the original part of the hall and the extension which meant going up or down a lump in the middle of the mats. This must have made playing there very challenging. Match points 6-0 to the Bears. Despite their loss Spitfires maintained their fourth position in Division 2.
26/11 Aylesham Warblers vs Lancasters The Lancasters travelled to Aylesham and had to experience their first game mat on mat. This usually affects the speed of the mat, making them much slower than ours. Janet & Graham Packman together with Shaun Green must feel really disappointed as they only lost their game by one point (12-13) despite winning more ends than the Warblers. Unfortunately, their teammates struggled on the mats and went down 24-5. Match points 6-0 to the Warblers. The Lancasters are struggling to get going this season and are currently at 8th position in the table.
Hurricanes The Hurricanes did not play this week and face both home and away matches next week against Boughton Acorns.
