LLantrisant Away

Today Dinas Powys travelled to Llantrisant with the weather not being kind it was fingers crossed the game would go ahead.

The game started on time and Dinas started the better to lead by 3 shots after 5 ends across the board. It was a challenge not only with the winds but also with the green, as most rinks seemed to have a good hand and straight hand.

By 10 ends Dinas had extended this to 8 shots but with nothing in the game it was still all to play for.

The rink of Steve Linney, Matt Gershenson, Darren Turner and Mike Pickles Prosser got there diggers out and fought back with 5 ones and a four to lead on there rink at 15 ends by 1. The rinks of Bowen and Woodcock were firmly in control but the rink of Terry Lance Bratcher, Tim Hurcom, Gareth Griffiths and Chris Chapman had let a 9-2 lead slip to find themselves 16-14 down with 6 ends to go.

Dinas dug deep to see the game out and take 12 of the 14 points available and by 14 shots. Rink scores

Our second team travelled down the the all weather surface of Cowbridge in which our team found it hard to adjust to the carpet surface. It was the first game Dinas had lost in while and I'm sure they will try to bounce back next week. Rink scores
