2025 SEASON
And we're off!!
Match Report: Dalglish League - Crawford Park (H) - 21 April '24
Our 2025 competitive season began on Monday in the Dalglish League (to which we were inexplicably promoted at the end of 2024???) with a Home match vs Crawford Park ... which all too predictably we lost.
Given the decent weather we've had recently it was no surprise to see the match begin in a fine drizzle and with cool temperatures, but at least it wasn't freezing cold.
Playing across the rink on blue (Blue! Crazy!!) we had two rink wins. Top performers were Reg, Sue & Paz on Rink 2 who led from the off and got as far ahead as 16-5 before finally taking the game 20-13. Next to them on Rink 3 Chris, Corey & Kev started well and were 11-4 up before their opponents staged a comeback meaning that after 20 ends the game was tied at 16-16. Happily Kev dropped his first wood at the final end on the jack and that took the game 17-16.
Our other two triples weren't so fortunate with Neil, Ian and Ryan going down 18-26 (not a bad outcome as they had been 6-21 behind); and Ronnie, John C and Keith losing 9-21. Early days though, wait until the greens speed up!
So, a disappointing loss 4-10 on points with an aggregate deficit of -12 (64-76) - at least we kept things relatively tight. On to the next one - Monday 28 April at Willington Quay.
