Sevenoaks Ladies 1 1/2 Ashford 10 1/2
75 shots to 110

The two opposing captains rinks featured in an exciting game ending honours even 21-21, but it was almost a victory for Sevenoaks.   Jenny Barnes, Joy-Ann Hemmings, Marian Greenouff and Sue Wallis (the latter two joint captains) won 11 of the 18 ends and were leading 21-18 with one end to play.

Ashford’s ladies put two woods almost touching the jack with the nearest Sevenoaks bowls a couple of feet away to the side.   Skip Sue could not shift the holding bowls leaving the Ashford skip to produce a superb bowl for a count of three and a drawn contest.

The lone victory came from Sharon Funnell, Mel Bridges, Lynn Thomson and Ann Monro.  They trailed 2-8 after 6 ends but soon found their form with a run of 7 consecutive winning ends, eventually recording a fine 19-16 success.
