Our 2026 – 2027 season of matches against other clubs began on Wednesday 21st October, with an Away match at Barton Seagrave.

The game for Saxons ‘A’ started well, with Saxons building a small but steady lead after winning four of the first five ends. Barton Seagrave came back at us strongly in the sixth end, taking it with a massive score of 6 shots. However another small win by Saxons left us all square at the completion of seven ends, with 7 shots each. After sharing the next two ends also, the score was 9 shots each after 9 ends. Unfortunately this was the turning point after which Barton pushed forward strongly to win six of the last seven ends, finally winning by 20 shots to 10.

Saxons ‘B’ on the other mat took five of the first nine ends, keeping their noses nicely in front of the Barton Seagrave team, and were leading by 8 shots to 7 after nine ends. A win of 3 shots in the tenth end took them further ahead, and they kept up this momentum throughout the second half of the match, scoring steadily and taking four of the last six ends. A tremendous score of 5 in the final end gave Saxons ‘B’ a great win by 19 shots to 11.

Although neither game was what you would call ‘close’, it was just 2 shots that made the difference and gave the overall win to Barton Seagrave.
