Match Report - Jackattack 8th August 2021

Under a grey sky and with the threat of rain 10 teams swooped on the green ready to battle for the various prizes carefully selected by Maureen Hollier in the hope that the forecast rain held-off.  Each team due to play two matches of two five end sets.

Before the main event however all competitors joined in a 'Spider' which was won by Peter Smith who had sensibly positioned himself in the far corner of the rink whilst most folk decided it was less effort to stay near the Club House.  The video below shows the result (Peter's light green bowl is easy to spot!!)
The Teams then went to action stations and the first round of matches commenced.  All players remained at the Mat end (no-one at the head during play) and the order of play within a team was determined by the 'skip's.

Ready To Go
As the afternoon progressed a light rain shower came and went and then the sun appeared.  After two sets of 5 ends had been played tea was taken.  During tea the results of the matches were analysed and pairings for the second session were determined.

Then it was off again for another two sets of five ends.  Finally after waiting for one rink to play a tie break end the 'jury' retired with the score cards to determine the final results.

Eventually Chris, Bob, and Ian emerged from the clubhouse and the presentations, introduced by Bob, began.

Saturday Morning Triples Match Report - 24th July 2021

With the day starting wet things did not look good but our Green was not unduly wet and thankfully the rain at the start soon gave way to sun, though Fordingbrige called to say their green had succumbed to the weather and the game there was off. (Sorry to those players who had set out before my call).

For the games played we can start by congratulating our players at Southbourne, Rob Haile, Frank Westfield, George Stevens, Colin Taylor, Roy Cole, Tom Whelan for a 48-21 win, well done guys!

At home Peter Smith, Steve Towse, Dave Collishaw all played very well but went down to the Kings Park wickers (Top of this League) but Brian Prosser, Geof Judd, Julian Cooke upheld Branksome smiles with a 16-11 win.

In the other game against Bournemouth Broncos, Mike Oliver, Graham New, Roger Owen won every end except the first for a 28-1 win!!  While Terry Stimpson, Arthur Baxter, Terry Lemon led all the way but lost the last end to go down 17-18.
