PENDINE LADIES 0 pts. TENBY ARCHES LADIES 6 pts.
14th May 2015

Following on from their 6-O defeat by St. Issells early last week, a depleted Arches team travelled to Pendine on Thursday hoping to get something out of this game to kick-start their season. With only seven ladies available, this was always going to be a difficult task, but the Arches ladies, generously sponsored this year by Les, Martin and Kelly, of Tenby House, were in a positive mood. Captain Carol decided to promote herself to skip and play a triples game with Margaret and Lynn. This rink, although a lady short, won by 16.5 shots to 13 after being penalised 25 per cent. Carol remarked after the game that she had an 'arm-chair ride' skipping, as Margaret and Lynn were just awesome. Alison skipped the second rink, with Gerry, Liz and Meryl making up the quartet. Alison and her team got off to a great start, but Pendine ladies fought back and, with six ends to go, the game was tied at 16-all. Some good tight, tactical play resulted in the Arches ladies  winning the next four ends and their rink by 20 shots to 18. The 36.5 shots to 31 win for the Arches ladies was somewhat of a surprise victory but`they can now go forward and build on this success.
