Both teams won 4-1 at home last night the A team by 56 shots to 41.  This should keep them at the top of Division 1.
A good result for the ‘B’ team, Our third win, the first one by 4-1. Colin’s rink started slow and were 1-6 down but won 28-10! My own rink started well being 21-3 up at one point but despite a Fleet Utd come back we still won by 12 points. Jack’s team had been ahead 17-11 but became stuck on that score for the last seven ends. But a team win by 20 points was a great result. Home to Farnborough Gate next week

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

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.
