OYSTER 2 v SEVENOAKS LADIES 8
91 SHOTS TO 63

Another good performance from the ladies, winning on two of the five rinks, although with 5 points going to the overall shots winner, this always makes the score look so much worse

Ann Munro was on top form and along with Joyce Allen, Val Stevens and Rosemary Tuck they were in total control throughout, winning 17-12.  It was 17-8 on 17 ends, but they generously conceded 4 shots to the Oyster ladies on the final end.    That victory came despite playing on an end rink with a ditch that attracted several bowls.

After a poor start, trailing 3-13 after 8 ends, Brenda Bennett, Anne Farley, Jeannette Kisnorbo and Jenny Barnes slowly turned the corner.  Helped by chocolate biscuits kindly provided by the Oyster ladies captain with the midway cup of tea, the Sevenoaks ladies were back in the game, levelling at 14-14 after 14 ends.   The score reached 16-16 with one end to play and the last rink to finish.
The Oyster lead put her first bowl right on the jack and although that bowl remained in place when the skips went to play, Sevenoaks had three very useful bowls just behind the jack.  All that Bennett had to do was tap the holding bowl to move the jack back to the Sevenoaks bowls and that’s what she did.  A bit of a miracle shot but it meant another win for Sevenoaks.

Brenda.
