A week ago we had to postpone a cup match due to rain. Today the feeling was that we might not be able, due to the heat, to play a full 18 ends in the League match which pitted the league leaders - Sleights Blue against the bottom club - South Cliff Vikings. In the end, thanks to our proximity to the sea, we were fortunate to play the full 18 ends - unlike some inland clubs who played a restricted number of ends.

The match saw South Cliff give a good account to themselves - John S’s rink won 17-11 and we lost narrowly on Mel & Rosie’s rinks. The aggregate score was a rare tie 42 shots each. The outcome, in points, was 3 to the Vikings and 5 to Sleights Blue. After the match all enjoyed some excellent home cooked cakes courtesy of Mel.
