Thanks again to all who played.

Sevenoaks Ladies v The Royals. 10th November 2021

This match compares very well to the “the play that went wrong”. Whatever could go wrong did right from the start. Luckily we had a very understanding opposition. Captain Jill was extremely gracious saying that it made the afternoon really enjoyable and funny!
So be it, but we have to say they were by far the better side this time and won by a whopping 80 to 134. We did manage one point by the rink skipped by Anne Welch with Joan Moffat, Jessie Thompson and Marian Greenouff. They hung in there and won the rink by one point. Well done Ladies.

Unfortunately we are now out of this knock-out Competition.

Sevenoaks v Mote Park. 7th November 2021

Today we played against Mote Park one of the stronger teams in the Kent league.
Sevenoaks managed to field a full team due to the fact that members change domestic arrangements and played at a last-minute request.
A good match was enjoyed by all even though we suffered some heavy defeats on 3 rinks but we managed a close defeat on rink 3 by 2 points
G Jackson M Jarvis A Hart and Tony Buddin.
But we did win two rinks P Fogherty N Wills G Thompson and N Waters winning 18   16. And the captain’s rink of D Rodger, M Hammond, A Pull, and Tony Garvey  21  14 .
As always it was a pleasure to play against the Mote Park team.
And once again great meal from Florence.

Captain for the day.

Ladies Match against Mote Park. Wednesday 27th October

The Captains of the day were Val Stevens and Sally Garvey.

The match the Ladies played against Mote Park yesterday went ahead in a very friendly manner, with everyone enjoying a very pleasant time.  Sevenoaks started with a 10 point bonus because Mote Park could only field 5 rinks, which was soon overtaken by Mote Park, gaining a strong early lead.  However, Sevenoaks fought back to cut Mote Park’s large lead down to a much narrower points difference.

On the Captain’s rink Mote Park’s advantage was very largely due to Mote Park’s lead, who consistently gave her side  a big advantage with a brilliant performance, putting her woods very near the jack almost every time.  On our side the accolades must go to Ann Munro, skip of no. 2 rink.  By the 14th end of the game Ann’s side had got a fair way behind, scoring only 7 points to Mote Park’s 22 but pulled back to a very exciting finish, with the score 21 to 22 for Mote Park on end 20.  However, Ann played 2 beautiful woods on her final end, making their score  23 to 22 for Sevenoaks.

Rinks 3, 4 and 6 were only very narrowly beaten in the last few ends.

The final score was 99 to Mote Park and 87 to Sevenoaks.

Sevenoaks came away with 2 well earned and hard fought points.
