White Oak Ladies 138 Sevenoaks Ladies 92

The Ladies put up a good show, winning on two rinks and ‘almost’ winning on another!

Joyce Allen, Doris Chapman, Joan Moffat and Marian Greenouff made a dreadful start, trailing 2-14 after 8 ends.  However the tide turned quickly as they won 5 out of the next 6 ends (including a count of 7 on one end) to take the lead 18-15.  White Oak rallied to lead

20-22, Sevenoaks levelled 22-22, then held a 23-22 lead with one end to play.   Two shots down, one wood left, Marian attacked the head, got lucky and scored 3 shots for a fine 26-22 victory.

Dot Fuller, captain for the day, joined forces with Sylvia Riley, Sue Wallis and Brenda Bennett.  In a very close scoring game, Sevenoaks trailed 12-15 after 20 ends.  However, the ladies played a magnificent final end with four woods round the jack before the skips went to bowl.  Brenda added another shot but surprisingly the White Oak skipped, who had played very well all afternoon, failed with both her bowls to change the situation so Sevenoaks graciously snatched victory 17-15 from the jaws of defeat!

Margaret Elsdon skipped a team who were never behind for 20 ends, holding a one shot lead 19-18 going into the final end.   But it was not to be.   White Oak held one shot to draw but their skip drew a perfect last bowl to finish and clinch a 20-19 win.
