Latest News
Snowy Underhill League - July 29th
The team had their first real scare last night, at home to Sturdee, managing to scrap an 8 points to 4 win thanks to one triple winning on their last end and Mick Day's triple winning by a large margin. It meant an overall victory by a single shot!
The team now needs good wins in the next two games. It would be disappointing if the team faltered at this late satge.

Worthing Holiday Cancelled!
Trevor Skinner and Jackie Spice fell at the last hurdle on route to Worthing when they lost their Area 9 semii final match to a pair form Thanet. On this occasion neither player was at their best and both struggled on the green, the straighter woods of their opponents being better suited to the conditions. Never the less to reach this stage of the vompetition is a tremoendous achievemment and both players are to be congratulated on their success.
Open Triples Saturday July 10th
Winners: David Turner, Peter Kenney & Dave Thorne (Chatham)
Runners up: Al Robinson, Martin Phillips and Barry Ryves (Rochester)
3rd Place: Dave Abrathat, Len Sharp and Mick Redman (Medway Magistrates)
The overall result was very close with the winners and the runners up having 41 points each and the teams in 3rd and 4th having 40 points each. The Chatham team had a higher shot difference, making them the overall winners, but the teams in 3rd and 4th both had the same shot difference. The 3rd place was therefore decided by a one wood play off between the two skips. Mick Redman drew his wood closer to the jack than Dave Ambrose (Borstal) so the Medway Magistrates took third place. Overall it was a great day, but it was very, very warm! Click for photos.
