27th June 2026 at Fairford BC, Gloucestershire.
A very professional line-up!
A warm welcome was received on our visit to Fairford for a celebration match whilst in the area, the weather was hot but not as much as the previous week luckily.
Captain Alan made us feel very welcome and the game was played in the usual good humour and sportsmanship that you expect to see.
Despite winning 3 rinks and a valiant effort from all our players we narrowly came second with a score of 84 – 88 and if I had not moved the jack with my last shot the match may well have ended in a draw. Oh well never mind everyone appeared to have a good day and we were treated to a wonderful supper by their chef which was much appreciated by all.
