Monday saw Bridport away to Dorchester’s top stars. Chris Throne’s crew lost by only 3 shots but the other two rinks were beaten heavily. No points on this occasion for Bridport. Bridport A were home to Dorchester B and had a far better result with two winning rinks and one losing rink. The two winning rinks won by a total of ten shots with the losing rink losing by 12, so the overall points to Dorchester. Well done to Bill Duthie-Jones, Jim Greenfield, John Carter and Steve Bartlett.
No ladies County game this week because of the extreme weather. However, the friendly against Axminster on Thursday did go ahead, albeit, a shorter game. A special welcome to four of our new members all playing this afternoon – Trevor Deadman-Spall, Dave Norman, Sean Laffan and Sandy Peters. A good result for Bridport with 3 winning rinks. Top rink honours to Trevor D-S, Chery Mackenzie and Brian Rumble.
Oh dear, Bridport B were away to Portland Borstal with no winning rinks. The men’s captain, Steve Bartlett, was unlucky to lose by just one shot, along with Duthie-Jones, Pratt and Carter. Further mix-up with the A team who should have played Portland Victoria and both teams were at home awaiting their opposition. Must be the heat!!.
An inter-club competition on Sunday brought the week to a close. 16 industrious souls turned up to play the Ivy Trophy with Trevor, Richard, Jean and Jill the victors.
