‘Top Club’ is a national knockout competition, involving the four playing disciplines of our game. We won on all four rinks, against Blandford, on Thursday afternoon, 2nd June, well done ladies.
SINGLES, Uta Keats, had a ‘nip and tuck game over the first 11 ends then won 5 out of the last 6 to achieve the required 21 winning shots!
PAIRS, Jan Cherry and Linda Wallis, raced away to a great lead of 13 shots to 2 after 7 ends but the opponents fought back to 13-12 shots after 11 but Swanage again took control winning 23 shots to 18 after the required 18 ends.
TRIPLES, Ro Bibby, Gill Bryceson and Sue Bird, were 13-3 up after 7 ends but were hauled back to 15-14 after 15 ends dropped 1 on the 16th now 15 all, with great tenacity they held their nerve and won by 1 shot 17-16 after 18 ends.
FOURS, Lil Bell, Pam Roddick, Julie Lomas-Smith and Judy Smooker, after dropping the first 3 ends took total charge of this game and steadily built their lead, loosing only 1 end over the next 14 ends, not needing to play the last end went out winners 27-6.
This was an excellent victory and we meet Branksome Park at home in the next round, to be played before Sunday 3rd July.
