Post date: Mar 8, 2017 5:31:01 PM

OUR Presidents, Denis and Maggie, say a double thank you to those of you who played for them against the Lincs VP's touring side. First for playing and secondly for winning !

The side picked from names put on the notice board for selection included the young and not so young, the experienced and not so experienced, all blending together to give us a winning combination that saw us halving the number of rinks won but up on the total aggregate by 121-106. Our best rink was that skipped by up and coming prodigy Helen Holroyd who ousted that wily old campaigner Keith Rippin's rink by winning more ends. Home rink scores were: Vanessa Shackleton, Ian Hall, Denis Stapleton, Helen Holroyd won 28-14; Alan Romaine, Maggie Holden, Tony Barwell, Dennis Henshaw lost 15-19; Janet Dye, Stella Henshaw, Pete Sharman, Maurice Dye lost 16-20; Ann Preston- Bambridge, Shirley Suffling, Nigel Trigg, Keith Rippin won 26-12; Judy Barwell, Howard Neath, Margaret Andrews, Chris Ford won 26-16; Betty Sims, Jill Goode, Reg Goode, Dick Ford lost 10-27.

As for the Weekend Friendlies, we were supposed to play our final match against Sleaford at home but when a call was made to Sleaford to finalise details, they claimed the match was not on their fixture list! Sorry to those who were down to play. It had been on our fixture list and website from the start of the season. We understand that technology is due to reach all parts of the British Isles by the end of the year! Anyway, enough said. A big thanks to all of those who played in this year's matches. We didn't win as many as we had hoped, but as people keep saying it's the playing that counts, not the winning. See you next season.
