East Williamston were away for tonight’s Friendly League game against New Hedges.
Playing on one mat, Mark was up first in the Singles and started confidently taking 1 on the first, 3 on the second and 1 on the third. The pressure was on the home side but, as they became more practiced on their mat, they started to come back. They were successful at breaking up Mark’s holding shots to take the ends, with 1 on the fourth, 1 on the fifth and 1 on the sixth. With the gap now just a 2 shot lead, to the visitors, Mark knew he needed to hold firm, which he did, taking all 4 on the last end to secure the win. Cliff and Mandy played Pairs, with the home side taking 2 on the first end. But East Williamston regrouped and took the next five ends with 10 shots. New Hedges pulled 1 back on the final end but the gap was too wide and the visitors took the win. Gwyneth, Theresa and Fran played Triples and, again, the home side took 2 on the first end as East Williamston tried to gauge the very swingy mat. But the visitors came back to take 1 on the second and 2 on the third. New Hedges pulled back 1 on the fourth and 1 on the fifth to creep into the lead but a couple of cracking shots by the visitors secured 2 on the sixth and 1 on the final end to take the win. Paula, Kym, John and Phill P played Rinks and as with the other games, the home side took the first end with 1. A great performance by all of East Williamston secured 4 on the second and 1 on the fifth. However, New Hedges were not done and despite East Williamston doing a great job of getting to the jack, the home side kept managing to sneak a bowl in, taking 3 shots over the next three ends. Going into the final end East Williamston were holding a very slender 1 shot lead. Again East Williamston had a pack surrounding the jack until New Hedges, again, managed to sneak one bowl onto the jack. It looked as though the fours would have to settle for a draw, until the last shot of the game, sent by East Williamston’s skip, which somehow wiggled its way in to knock the home bowl off the jack to take shot. A measure confirmed it was 2 to the visitors and another win.
