The warm welcome to Mole Valley was very short lived as there was no heating and we gradually froze. Was this a deliberate tactic from MV as we beat them last year? Well if it was it certainly worked as, although Merrow won on two rinks, we lost overall 50-76 in the shortened 18 end match.

We enjoyed a very welcome hot drink and biscuits before being entertained by Captain John’s Shaggy Dog Story and were more successful in the raffle than the match.

Many thanks to Mole Valley for hosting us and we hope next year will be warmer and a closer match.
