Great to have so many supporters at Cambridge Park this morning when two rinks took on two strong rinks from Egham.
Both rinks held their own for most of the game and were keen to keep going to put more shots on the scoreboard.
Unfortunately our away rinks were up against another two strong Egham rinks and, after 16 ends, the deficit was too great for us to continue And hands we’re shaken.
All credit to Val Noel, Carole Boisseux and Karen Griffiths in their first National Team competition. They settled in well and contributed to each team’s score.
Thanks to Ron Eden, the umpire, to Norman and Mike doing the liaising between the venues keeping the scoreboards up to date and for Jane behind the bar, not to forget Brian Noel washing up all the mugs!
Next up could be Hounslow or Croydon I think. The draw isn’t up yet.

On Saturday 5th, the ladies play Egham in the Yetton Trooply starting at 10:00 am.  Two rinks home, and two away.  We would love to have supporters at both venues!

Peter Judge and Peter Twells had an excellent win in the National Pairs last night v John Carey & Jay Head from Egham.
A tight game all the way through but left them 4 down going into the final end when the two P’s managed to pick up 5 giving them a 15-14 victory!

Next round is v S Tindall & partner who also had a one point win against their first round opponents.

Well done the P’s and good luck in the next round.

Well it’s not literally raining any of those things but it was RAINing all night and still going strong.

All 6 lanes on the A4 were under a flood near the A30 junction and several other stretches of the A4 between Osterley and the A30 were only usable on the lane nearest the central reservation.

So, be careful if you’re driving and, if you’re a pedestrian, walk as close to the wall on the pavements (unless you have a man willing to get soaked protecting you!  What did happen to that bit of etiquette?).
Wellies might be the order of the day especially if you have to leave your car in the middle of the CP car park for this afternoon’s league.
Joking apart. Be careful.

PS. You could try singing today … or look up the Morecambe & Wise version of Singing in the Rain on one of the media platforms.  That will put a smile on your face!

First line of a great song I first heard sung by Eva Cassidy.
The autumn leaves are falling rapidly so watch your step out there. They are very slippery.

All Saints Day today, so hope you’ve polished up your halos and finished making pumpkin soup and pies after Halloween!
