On Saturday, 27th May, Merrow welcomed Burpham to their green. Four rinks of triples were played in mostly sunny conditions.

There was a keen sense of anticipation on the part of Merrow, who were looking forward to a competitive fixture. The result saw Merrow win on all four rinks, beating Burpham by a grand total of 26 points, a result that far outweighed our expectations.

Teas were provided by Joan Mead, with everyone commenting on her tasty home-made cake, which was enjoyed sitting in the sunshine.
