Attendance has been down a bit this week. Many of our members played at Collegians on Tuesday, and several people are out of action due to colds, flu and other medical conditions.
With games often finishing after sunset many are reluctant to drive home in the dark. Hang in there, the solstice is only a few days away.
On Saturday, the men's fourth league team travelled to Umgeni for the last game of the season.
We ended up winning on one rink and losing on the other. We came away feeling we had been with friends, not opponents.
The fourth league team have won their league for 2013. Well done, men.
A small field of just twenty-one tabs-in players did battle on Saturday at home for chickens. As an experiment, the prize was offered to the team winning by the smallest margin. Incredibly, all three rinks of trips finished with gaps of two points. The chickens were presented to Jean Pluke, John Bayley and Mike Mylne who had the greatest number of shots.
The Quarry Spar Harry Cooper Cup will be contested this Saturday. The draw takes place at 08:15.
