Islip - Away. Match Result

Website updated 03-Apr-2024

Our last match of this season took place on Easter Saturday, 30th April,‘away’ at Islip, and it was very satisfying to finish on another win. We played only 14 ends at Islip’s request.

On mat 1, Saxons ‘A’ team shared the honours with Islip over the first 5 ends, with the score at that point being a close 5 – 4 in favour of Islip. However Saxons scored a huge 6 shots in the 6th end, and with Islip only able to win another two ends in the match Saxons steadily increased their lead. Another big score of 5 in the final end sealed a wonderful win for Saxons ‘A’, by 22 shots to 7.

Saxons ‘B’ on mat 2 started well, and despite giving away 5 shots in the fifth end, were tied with Islip after six ends at 7 – 7. After that we struggled slightly to find our form against this Islip team, with the Islip Skipper frustratingly making several final deliveries that scored them 1 and saved them from going down by 2 or 3 shots.

We managed to win only one of the next six ends, and looked likely to lose by 5 or 6 shots. But we kept trying and a score of 1 in the penultimate end followed by 3 shots – it was almost 4 ! - in the final end saw Saxons ‘B’ lose this match by just one shot, 12 - 13

Saxon ‘A’ won by 22 - 7
Saxon ‘B’ lost by 12 - 13

Saxons won overall then, 34 to 20

Team A : Jeanette Statham, Ann Cook, Chris Selling, Roger Gill

Team B :Anna Davies, Tony Sellick, Linda Gill, Roger Bond
