Well what an end to our busy season today with the semi finals and final of the Women’s Double Rinks at Ponteland BC.
We started in the rain but it didn’t take long for the sun to come through and we ended the afternoon basking in the sunshine!! 😎😎
Semi Finals:
Spectators were treated to some great play on all 4 rinks with the scores not always reflecting the quality of some of the shots played.
- Forest Hall 47 v Benfield 25
Forest Hall got their revenge on Benfield this year in this semi final.
For Benfield one rink losing 9-30 and the other rink just losing in the last 2 ends 16-17.
- Morpeth 31 v Newbiggin 27
Obviously a much tighter game in this semi final. Morpeth winning one rink 18-11. Their other rink lost 13-16 after Newbiggin fought hard on the last 3 ends to reduce their deficit!
Final:
- Morpeth 24 v Forest Hall 28
This was a very exciting final to watch, with some great heads!
Morpeth were leading overall after 5 ends 12-2. They were still in the lead after 10 ends 18-12. Then Forest Hall started to push forward and after 15 ends they had taken the lead of 24-20.
One rink finished earlier with Forest Hall clinching the win of 13-12.
The second rink were a few ends behind and were drawn 12-12 on their 15th end. Forest Hall kept the pressure on taking Morpeth off the jack and drawing in well and they won the last 3 ends to win their rink 15-12.
So congratulations to Forest Hall 🎉🎉 on their win and commiserations to Morpeth who tried so hard to keep their early lead!
Huge thanks to Ponteland BC for hosting this event and providing much needed refreshments over a long day, it is very much appreciated!
Thanks to the spectators who came along to support their teams and it was a shame that some left early and missed a really good competitive final!
That’s a wrap for this year folks with our women’s county competitions!
