East Williamston were away for tonight’s South Pembs match against Cosheston.
Playing on two mats Mark played Singles and seemed to struggle getting the line of the mat, which played very strangely on both sides. The home side took advantage, taking the first 6 ends with 7 shots. On the final end the stars aligned for Mark as he landed all 4, but it was not enough to catch Cosheston and they took the win. Sharon and Fran played Pairs and also found the quirky mat and its angles an interesting play. Cosheston took the first end but East Williamston replied with 2 on the second and 1 on the third. 1 more to Cosheston on the fourth and the fifth to level the scores once more. A lovely steal gave the visitors 1 on the sixth and on the final end Cosheston were holding until East Williamston nudged their bowl off the jack and then proceeded to block it up, ensuring Cosheston were unable to further disturb the head, giving East Williamston the end and the win. Theresa, Cliff and Mandy played Triples and were down 2 shots after two ends. However a great team effort pulled back 4 on the third. 3 more to Cosheston on the fourth was followed by 1 to East Williamston on the fifth to level the scores. However another fantastic team effort landed all 6, for the visitors, on the sixth end to take the lead with a 6 shot advantage. East Williamston were holding 4 on the final end but a great shot by the Cosheston skip split the pack to take 1 but it wasn’t enough and East Williamston took the win. Paula, John, Steve and Phill P played Rinks and soon also realised the quirky nature of the mats, as Cosheston took 1 on the first and 1 on the second. But, by the third end, the visitors were getting the line and the target and took 1 on the third, followed by 1 on the fourth. 1 more to the home team was closely followed by 2 on the sixth to East Williamston. With the visitors leading by 1 and an overall aggregate shot advantage of just 5 the pressure was on the rinks to manage out the last end, which they did well, with Cosheston taking just 1 on the final end, which tied their game but ensured the 2 bonus shot points were going to the visitors.
