Ladies Friendly Fixtures 2022

Ladies v Little Bowden - Wednesday 27th April

OBC ladies travelled to Little Bowden for their first away friendly match for 3 years.  We had 3 new members playing their first competitive ladies’ match, Jackie Cole, Carol Scothern and Lyn Scott.  Unfortunately it was a bitterly cold day and difficult to hold onto the woods.  Little Bowden won the match overall but OBC did have one winning rink, Julie Healey, Lyn Scott, Ros Carter and Beryl Birch.  President Janet Horwood’s rink, Alice Wells, Carol Scothern and Maureen Douglas had had a good afternoon and were one shot up going into the last end but disaster struck and they dropped 5 shots to lose the match.  Anne Preston Bambridge’s rink, Mary Smith, Jackie Cole and Eileen Wright had a bad day at the office, mainly due to their opponents insisting on long Jacks.  I have been bribed not to reveal their score!  Despite the overall loss it was agreed that it was good to be travelling again and everyone had thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.  We look forward to the return match when hopefully it will be a bit warmer and we can turn the tables.
