Another game where we could have had a draw as Oatway's rink went down to the last end on both games.
In the 1st session with the score at 10-11on last end but with our woods in a good position all was needed was to take out the Kirby wood for a 3 count but he missed with his last wood,just running wide of the head.
In the second session a 5 scored on the 14 end brought us back to be 1 down at 12-13 with1 end to play, but a great last wood from John Aggas nudged the jack to 2 of Kirby's woods and it was all over.

Looking to capitalise on the draw last week this was a dissapointing result, in that Bob.Oatways block were leading in both games and conceded shots in the last few ends, otherwise the result would have been reversed. Other than that the team played well and gave Hevingham a good game

Bob Carter mats are never easy and so it proved this time with a demolition in the 1st half. We fared slightly better in the 2nd half actualy going into the lead on mat 2 (4-3) on end 7 but all hopes of a mat win were dashed as the next end saw a 4 dropped and although we got a 3 on end 13 to go 2 behind at 9-11 we lost the last 2 ends by 1 shot.

On Mat 2
Ralph Wilson,George Munford and Colin Coman lost to L.Chadwick,LChadwick and J.Poynter 6-20
This was a dissapointing result in that in the first half on mat 1 we were leading all the way to end 9 but a dropped 6 on end 10 brought Sprowston right back into the game. Although 1 up on the last end and holding shot the win eluded us as John ditched the jack for a count of 2 and so consinged us to a 1 shot loss.
On mat the the game was also close as we were12 all going into last end but again it was not to be as we went down by a single shot .
Second half saw a good win for Sprowston on mat 2 and another tight game on mat 1 where we were 6-13 down after 11 ends and managed to win the last 4 ends to draw the game.All credit to the Sprowston skip,D.Fuller as we were holding multiple shots on 2 of those ends and he managed to get 2nd wood.

After the close games in the 1st half we were hopeful of turning the game around in the 2nd half but Thorpe Marriott were relentless and ran out worthy winners as we struggled to cope with us changing mats especially on mat 2
We started our summer season with an away trip to Bradwell for a friendly on Tuesday 26th April
Having played 5 rounds of 6 ends we lost 109-70
A good game played in the right spirit but unfortunately we were beaten by the better side who knew their mats well.
Thanks to John Sargent for the organisation and to the people who provided the most welcome refreshments.
