National Runners Up

Back to news

As per previous post our Mixed Fours reigning champions were defending their title this afternoon – and were in the gold medal match – facing Buckinghamshire.

We got off to a great start, leading 7 – 1 after 5 ends, and 10 – 3 after 8 ends. We seem to got stuck on 12, and Bucs reduced the deficit – 12 – 8 after 11 ends, 12 – 11 after 12 ends, and the game was tied 13 all after 15 ends. We then scored a great 3 on end 16, and a single on end 17 – which put us 17 – 13 with only one end to play. Unfortunately we dropped a 4, which of course meant an extra end was required.

On the extra end we lay shot until Buckinghamshire skip Lloyd Sabatini trailed the jack, and with last bowl Chris went for it and missed by a millimetre. I know this is slightly disappointing news but national runners up is a great achievement, and all should be proud of what they have done and achieved.

Well done and congratulations to Kayleigh Proctor, Rachel Cartwright, Simon Richardson & Chris Yeomans.
