DARTFORD STONE LODGE 10 SEVENOAKS 0
69 shots to 55 on four rinks.

A four-rink match was agreed and Captain Lynn had four rinks at the ready until the day before when Mary Gardiner and Mary Lapsley fell by the wayside with the dreaded Covid.  Despite her best efforts, Lynn could not find two more willing ladies to join us so DSL were quite happy that we turned up with 2 rinks and 2 triples.   Although all four games were lost, they were all close  with no rink losing by more than five shots.  The game was played, we had a pleasant afternoon and a tasty meal.

For the full story of this eventful afternoon, you will need to read the May edition of Wickers World.

Sadly we did not win but I would like to thank captain Alan and his team for a very enjoyable game  and for their warm welcome and a very nice meal.

THIS EVENT IS NOW CANCELLED

We managed just to get the game on but with only 4 teams.
We had a very good match and if you take the 20 points away  that we had to concede we only lost by 30 odd points.
We managed a win on one rink thanks to some inspired play by Miles Kirkham.
The winning side was Miles Kirkham Neil Waters Stuart Ingram and Pat Fogerty
As usual a lovely meal with a very friendly Royals team.

Many thanks to those of you who travelled to Deangate Ridge on Saturday.  As expected we had a tough afternoon against one of the top teams in the League but, certainly on our rink, we were treated to a masterclass in indoor bowling!  They were also very grateful that we came with 6 rinks.

Team captains Brenda Bennett and Rosemary Tuck were extremely pleased to get 20 ladies for the previously agreed 5 rinks away to Folkestone.  Sue Wallis skipped our only winning rink with  Kristina Williams, Pam Stanley and Eve Strudwick and were in the lead all the way taking it to a 23 –12 victory.  Very well done ladies.  Avril Moss’s team were clearly up against strong opposition as despite getting 14 shots, more than any of our other teams, they received the pens from the opposition!   We are pleased to have fulfilled our commitments to one of our further distant opponents, albeit with an overall score of 122-68 to Folkestone.

The Yardstick competition took place yesterday.

There was some excellent bowling; Jonny Johnstone beat Murray Brown in the main competition and Anne Welch beat Ray Fuller in the plate.
Many thanks to those who participated and helped through out.

We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and hope it has encouraged some into signing up for other matches and competitions
