Sevenoaks 1 Bromley 9
60 shots to 101
After two consecutive wins, we came a bit of a cropper at home to Bromley last weekend.
Pam Stanley, Jeannette Kisnorbo, Avril Moss and Brenda Bennett all contributed well in their 17-12 success for the lone point.
Skips Sue Wallis and Jane Taylor kept their teams in the hunt, only going down narrowly by 3 shots and 5 shots respectively. The other two skips, who shall remain nameless, suffered rather heavy losses.

WHITE OAK 3 SEVENOAKS 7
77 shots to 81.
The Ladies have done it again, a second consecutive 7-3 victory!
White Oak had a new carpet put down a while ago and this took some adjusting to for the Sevenoaks ladies.
Performance of the day came from Sally Burton, Dianne Wills, Joy-Ann Hemmings and Ann Munro who romped home 27-7. Always ahead and leading 16-7, they won the last five ends notching up ten shots in the process. This valuable win helped cancel out the 9-27 loss suffered by Jane Taylor’s foursome. Marian Greenouff, Jessie Thompson, Lynn Thomson and Anne Welch’s 21-11 success also played a big part in the Sevenoaks victory.
Sue Wallis and her ladies went down by four shots 15-19 as did Brenda Bennett’s rink, only their score was 9-13. This was the Captain’s rink, Rosemary Tuck being the Sevenoaks captain of the day, with Dot Fuller and Diana Purssell making up the side. Although they were always in arrears, on fourteen of the eighteen ends only one shot was scored, which indicates the closeness of the game.

THE ROYALS 2 SEVENOAKS 8
The ladies made an encouraging start to the new year with victory at The Royals. Winning on two of the five rinks, together with an overall ten shots advantage, gave Sevenoaks a very welcome 7 points.
Dot Fuller, Jeannette Kisnorbo, Joan Moffat and Brenda Bennett quickly adapted to the away green and all four contributed to a well earned 32-8 success.
Sylvia Crabb, Diana Purssell, Shirley Christian and Sue Wallis maintained the initiative throughout their game, getting home convincingly 22-8.
Skip Anne Welch looked like leading her team to a win when they were 13-7 ahead with five ends to go, but unfortunately they failed to take another end, dropping 12 shots in the process.
With every shot counting, praise is due to Marian Greenouff, Linda George, Avril Moss and Rosemary Tuck who trailed 4-20 but managed to win five out of the final six ends to reach a
respectable 11-21.
This was a first Kent League appearance for Sylvie Crabb and Sue Hogg, a winning one for Sylvie but not Sue. Both performed well on their debut and hopefully will be putting their names down again.

SEVENOAKS LADIES 27 BROMLEY B 30
A very enjoyable competitive game on the Bromley green saw Krystina Williams, Eve Strudwick, Anne Welch and Brenda Bennett achieve a 12-9 victory, a very low scoring game with only 21 shots over the 18 ends. One shot only was scored on 15 ends. Recovering from 4-8 in arrears after 10 ends, Sevenoaks won 7 of the next 8 ends for their hard earned victory.
Unfortunately the home team skipped by Ann Munro could make little headway against their opposition. They trailed throughout, eventually going down 15-21.

SEVENOAKS 3. THE ANGEL 7.
Sevenoaks Ladies defeated The Angel on the green in this five rink game by 3-2 but two heavy defeats meant the shots victory went to our visitors.
Captain of the day, Marian Greenouff, and her team of Kristina Williams, Diana Purssell and Sue Wallis recorded a very satisfying win over the visiting captain’s team 21-10. After losing the two opening ends, they soon took the initiative and stretched their lead as the game went on.
Barbara Taylor, Sally Garvey, Audrey Franks and Brenda Bennett were 5-5 after 6 ends and two down on the next end when Audrey played the shot of the day. A runny bowl took the jack back to three waiting Sevenoaks woods on the edge of the ditch. Now 4 shots up, Brenda added a further two which opened up a 12-5 lead and the Sevenoaks foursome went on to win 19-15.
The most exciting game of the day involved Joyce Allen, Anne Farley, Lynn Thomson and Rosemary Tuck. A slow start saw them 0-6 after 5 ends before they finally opened their account but they could make little headway, and were 8-14 in arrears with two ends to play. Suddenly the magic touch appeared and they picked up 5 shots to go into the final end 13-14. Holding one shot when skip Rosemary went to bowl, she nudged an opposition wood back to make two shots. The Angel skip appeared to bowl the perfect wood into a crowded head but it finished a yard past the jack having sailed through the smallest of gaps. Rosemary’s final wood did not change anything giving the opposition skip another opportunity to save the day, but this time she fell short and Sevenoaks, much to their surprise, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!

MOTE PARK 9 SEVENOAKS LADIES 1.
63 shots to 78.
Mote Park gained revenge for their defeat at Sevenoaks back in October with a fairly comfortable victory on their own green. However an excellent performance from Anne Farley, Lynn Thomson, Jane Taylor and Joan Moffat saved the whitewash. From 4 -10 down after 12 ends, they dominated, winning six of the last seven ends and scoring 12 shots in the process.
Mel Bridges and her ladies only lost 15-17 while Brenda Bennett’s foursome went down 11-12. In this latter game, Sevenoaks were leading 10-2 before Mote Park scored a single shot on 8 of the next 9 ends to turn the tide in their favour.

SEVENOAKS 41 THE ANGEL 32. (Double rink for ladies over 60)
The home rink of Joan Moffatt, Joy-Ann Hemmings, Sue Wallis and Ann Munro excelled themselves against a strong Angel rink skipped by Jane Cogle. They took control from the start opening up leads of 10-3, 17-8 and 25-9 after 5, 10 and 15 ends, finally winning 26-15.
On the Angel green, Kristina Williams, Eve Strudwick, Anne Welch and Brenda Bennett started well, going 5-0 up but then lost 7 of the next 8 ends to trail 7-12. However, the good news filtering through from Sevenoaks was a great boost and they finished well, only going down by two shots, 15-17.
An all round excellent performance should give encouragement when the ladies face Bromley B in the second round.
