Well done to Peter Chapman.  The club competition draws are now up at the club on the noticeboard backing onto the kitchen wall.  Check out partners and playby dates.

Wins for Peter J in the Richmond & Barnes Singles this week, along with both our Ladies Senior Fours – let’s hope they don’t have to lay each other in the semi final as is what happened in the ordinary Fours.

Alas,Alasdair and Tony lost their R&B Pairs last night v North Sheen.  There were very good heads but the scoreline didn’t reflect that.

On the adjacent rink, Dave P, Andy, Ange & Lisa played a very hard fought Area Semifinal of the National Mixed Fours against Ann H, Dawn, Jay H &Paul C which went into an extra end.  Dave’s team came off with the win.  Some of us are getting good and losing on an extra end.  Getting the perfect line and knocking your opponents bowl in for shot wasn’t entirely helpful.Doh!

More action last night when the third of the coaching sessions taking place, with Jaqui, Lucy, Karen and Julian playing with and encougaing those who had come along to the Open Afternoon.  Glacing across, they are all doing really well and we hope they will stay and join us and to enjoy more fun and games on the green.

Good to see spectators as well and thanks to Jane for doing the bar.

This afternoon, we take on Hampton in a friendly.  Good luck to all playing.  Don’t forget your suncream and hats for this sunny Summer Soltice match.
