Another rainy night on the road for East Williamston as we travelled to The Meads.
Mark played Singles and got off to a strong start, taking 2 on the first and 4 on the second. The Meads came back, taking the next three ends with 8 shots. However Mark took control once more taking the next three ends with 6 shots and, with a 4 shot lead, was ahead once more. The Meads were not going to give up without a fight and closed the gap with 2 more shots over the ninth and tenth ends. One more to East Williamston on the eleventh and with just 1 to The Meads on the final end it meant that the home side could not close the gap and the visitors took the win. Fran and Mandy played Pairs and after a shaky first end they took the next three ends with 3 shots to level the scores. But the Meads took 2 on the fifth and 3 on the sixth and widened the gap to 5. The ends yo-yo’d between the two sides with East Williamston taking 2 on the seventh, The Meads 2 on the eighth, 2 more to East Williamston on the ninth and 1 to The Meads on the tenth. On the eleventh end East Williamston had three but an error (picking up a ditched toucher before it was counted) meant only 2 were awarded. Going into the final end there was just 2 shots between the two sides. The home side did a good job of surrounding the jack and East Williamston just needed to draw in to cut it down, but unfortunately the final bowl was sent with weight and missed, giving the home side 4 and the win. Stephen, Theresa and Phill P played Triples and initially struggled to gauge the mat, losing the first three ends and 5 shots. East Williamston came back to take 1 on the fourth but with 2 more to the home side on the fifth, the gap had widened to 6. However with 3 on the sixth, 1 on the seventh and 1 on the eighth suddenly East Williamston were back in the game, with The Meads lead cut to just one shot. But the ninth end proved disastrous for the visitors as the home side took 6 plus 1 more on the final end to secure the win. The final game was the Rinks with Steve, Gwyneth, Phill E and Cliff. The home side took 2 on the first end with East Williamston taking the next three ends with 5 shots. The Meads pulled back 3 on the fifth to level the scores and, having successfully surrounded the jack and with East Williamston struggling to get anywhere near, the home side took 4 on the sixth end. East Williamston’s skip did a lovely shot, which curled onto the jack, for 1 on the seventh but another 3 on the eighth and 2 on the ninth sealed the win for The Meads. Overall Result : Loss to East Williamston 2 - 8 on Points, 34 - 54 on shots Singles Win 13 - 11 Pairs Loss 9 - 15 Triples Loss 6 - 14 Rinks Loss 6 - 14 Despite the losses everyone played really well, on very tricky mats, against a very good team.
