Saturday 17th July was the Final of our Ladies Senior Rinks.
In the earlier round we already saw title holders Benfield lose out to A Storey, Ponteland. That meant Storey had to face M Maddison (WM) in the final to qualify for Leamington.
The conditions were certainly challenging – but not in the way we’re used to up North! The game started on this scorcher of a day with Storey scoring the first shot and conceding 2 on the second end.
After 5 ends, the score was level at 3 all. Storey then proceeded to score 7 on the next 5 ends (2,1,3,1) and only dropped 1. Unfortunately for Maddison, she found this deficit hard to recover from – although she did manage to score 3 on the 12th end, the damage was already done and Ponteland won 14 – 8 and now go on to represent Northumberland in the national finals.
Huge congratulations to A Brennan, M Turner, A Storey & M Cowan!!
