In this five rink game, Sevenoaks were successful on two rinks.  Kristina Williams, Linda Fleming, Sally Garvey and Joan Moffatt trailed 10-14 after 12 ends but then never looked back.  A run of five consecutive winning ends put them 20-14 in the lead and they went on to win 24-17.  Brenda Bennett, on the captain’s rink, supported by Dot Fuller, Val Stevens and Mary Gardiner comfortably disposed of the opposing captain’s rink 25-9.

Skip Anne Welch went into the final end trailing 15-16 but drew the shot to level the scores.   However, her second bowl nudged the shot wood and after a lengthy session of measuring, a tied end was agreed and therefore a narrow defeat for Sevenoaks.

At the beginning of the match when the names went up on the scoreboard, all the letter N’s were used, eleven in all, quite a lot by Sevenoaks as we have an Anne, Ann and Lynn to start with.  This meant opposition skip Sandra was shown on the board as SA DRA.  However, someone used their initiative and with the use of three of the letters ‘I’ make up another N!
