On Saturday, 1st July, Merrow entertained Ripley for the first of two fixtures.

On a hot day, the two sides lined up for four rinks of triples. This was a match that, as captain, I was not expecting to win. With each side doing their best, honours were even, with two rinks each. However, Merrow ran out as overall winners 83-51.

Half time teas were provided by Anne and Tony, with Anne’s cakes going down a storm with everyone.

This was a very friendly match, played in good spirits and we look forward to visiting Ripley for the return match.
