Snowman Wins the Day

The County Outdoor team’s annual Christmas match against the County Indoor is always very competitive and this year was no exception as the Outdoor team took the honours with a 109-103 win.

Highest winning rink went to Jenny Corn (Lillington) with Janet Pooler (Stoke), Velisa Brown and Rosemarie Geden (both Southam) who were fairly evenly matched with their opponents to begin with but gradually pulled away to finish 22-13.

Maureen Edwards (Rugby Thornfield), Janice White (RLS), Ann Doherty (Lillington) and Di Medhurst (Stoke) started slowly and were trailing 5-10 at the 10^th end, but kept their cool and pulled back in the second half to win 20-13.

Jean Hagues (Rugby Ladies) with Pippa Mace (Lillington), Chris Roberts and Helen Harris (Stoke) were trailing 8-13 on the 10^th end but a final flourish over the last few ends made all the difference and helped them to a 20-18 win.

Brenda Carlton (Stoke) with Lynne Innes (Stratford), Mary Wheildon (Warwick Boat Club) and Dawn Horne (RLS) were fairly evenly matched with their opponents all the way through but just managed to hold on to win by just one shot 16-15.

Carole Simmons (Welford) with Christine Harding (Rugby Thornfield), Margaret Grosvenor (Lillington) and Pat Harvey (Lillington) who shared the game with Carol Smith (Southam) 5-9 down at 10 ends and it was only a concerted effort in the second half that brought them to a 14 all draw on the 20^th end but sadly they lost 2 shots on the last end to finish 14-16.

Heather Tredgold (Southam) with Joy Cooke (Blossomfield), Jayne Henfrey (Lillington) and Debbie Bloxham (Stratford) were trailing 2-15 at the 9^th end but 7 shots on the 9^th made all the difference and although they  weren’t to win, they put up a strong fight finishing 17-28.

The Christmas meal went down a treat and the best Christmas hat prize went to Velisa Brown whose Snowman (as can be seen in the picture) was predominant throughout the game!!
