Mary Barnes League

🔴 Wednesday 22nd July saw Hainault play Wanstead Central in the Mary Barnes League.

Unfortunately, we were the second team on both rinks, although rink 2 only just lost out on points. Both rinks played very well, it just wasn’t our day and the score sheets didn’t really reflect how well Hainault ladies bowled.

On rink 2 Hainault were represented by Molly Edwards, Janet Doe & Linda Shepherd whilst on rink 3 the Hainault team were Roz Kaizer, Bev Higgins & Karol O'Brien.

Our next league game (Barnes) is away to Buckhurst Hill on Wednesday 5th August.

NO LEAGUE GAMES NEXT WEEK, so ladies please try to fit in your club competition games.

🔴 Wednesday 15th July saw Hainault play Silverthorn in the Mary Barnes League.

Given our Ladies teams have had no league game since the 1st of July and coupled with the hot weather, Silverthorn provided a tough challenge for the home team. However Hainault players kept their cool, were calm and composed and eventually achieved the result they duly deserved watched by a small but enthusiastic crowd. Hainault won on both rinks but both games were extremely close and the Silverthorn teams put up a determined fight throughout both matches.

Winning Hainault Ladies captain Karol O’Brien said “I’m immensely proud of each one of you. We played as a team and won as a team. Well played ladies”

On rink 2 Hainault were represented by Karol O’Brien, Roz Kaizer & Ali Richards whilst on rink 3 Janet Doe, Mollie Edwards & Linda Shepherd played for Hainault.

Our next match is at home on Wednesday 22nd July 2:30pm versus Wanstead Central in the Barnes league competition,
