KCIBA 142 Sevenoaks 76.
6 x Rinks.
Sevenoaks Captain of the Day was Russ Berryman. The KCIBA Captain was their president, Steve Powell.
Sevenoaks fielded a full team with one reserve. (1st time, I believe, this season. Well done Sevenoaks).
Unfortunately we only won on the one rink, the Captain’s Rink, who won 21-12. A very good result there. The day was followed with another excellent meal from Florence and enjoyed by both teams and their 7 guests.
Sevenoaks v Mote Park IBC. 1st November 2021
On Wednesday 1st December, our ladies travelled to Maidstone for an agreed 5 rink Kent League Game against Mote Park ladies. A number of our regular players were unfortunately unavailable due to ill health and other reasons, so we took a weakened team, whereas Mote Park fielded a very strong team as usual.
Although we came away with only 1 point, the winning team of Brenda Bennett, Mary Gardiner, Val Stevens and Dot Fuller defeated the Mote Park Captain’s rink 21-16. All four players did their bit, and it was certainly a superb and unexpected victory’.

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.

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.
