A&D league games 26th

Posted on May 27, 2015 by Alec Sharman

Mixed results last night

The ‘B’ team had a tough game. Fleet Social are a very strong team in Div 3, despite losing their last two games. Their team captain told me the two losses could easily have been two wins for them but both were lost on the last end; so they were determined to put that right and did so against us last night. Two of our rinks did recover quite well towards the end of the game but not enough to earn us any points. We must just put that game behind us and make sure we get back to our winning ways next week. As usual, a few changes will be made in the team selection as some experienced players are back off holiday, the team sheet will be sent later.

The ‘A’ team did eventually win against Mytchett, however it was looking very doubtful for three quarters of the match as Dennis’s team just could’t score and had only recorded 4 shots with 5 ends to go. A good tactical move of lengthen the jack to full length enabled them to score well on the last 5 ends giving Farnborough enough points to secure the overall results.

A&D – men snatch victory

Posted on May 20, 2015 by Alec Sharman

A big well done to the ‘B’ team players tonight who came back from a losing position to beat Aldershot Underwood 3-2. Jacks rink won by 5, the other two lost by 1 and 3, but both were behind by a long way with 6 ends remaining but both dug deep to win 5 of the last 6 ends which meant we won by 1 shot overall. I think Underwood were shocked at losing what looked like a certain win for them. Well done guys, a superb effort all round in very difficult conditions.

Win in the Men’s National Two Fours

A very tight game on Saturday when we beat Basingstoke Town 33-31 in the Two Fours. Barry Lee’s rink finished first and won by one shot. Martin Lee’s rink was two up going in to the last end so only needed to make sure they didn’t give away more than one. With Basingstoke Town having the last bowl it became very tense with them holding 1(The other rink were on stand by as they had to play the extra end should the result be a draw). Fortunately for Farnborough, Basingstoke Town were unable to get a second shot.

We have had 2 good wins in National Competitions over the last week. On Tuesday we beat Oakley 51-31 in the Tony Allcock Trophy (2 Mixed Rinks) and on Sunday we beat Whitchurch 4-1 in the National Men’s Top Club.
Next Saturday we play Basingstoke Town at Farnborough in the National Men’s Two Fours, let’s hope we can continue the success.
