On Sunday, September 6, we had another good win, this time against East Horsley, at home, by 36-22. Individual team results:
S West (skip), B West, D Taylor: 20-6.

On Saturday September 5, we played a friendly match against Holloway Hill, away, and won by by 67-60. Individual team results:

We were also allocated a team from Holloway Hill to ensure we could play four triples. That side was led (for us) by an ex-Castle Green player, Loris Magnini, and it lost by just 15-16.

On Tuesday, September 1, the senior men’s team lost to Woodbridge Hill, away, by 18-50 (-32). This was a bigger defeat (by 9 points) than the one we had playing them at home earlier in the season. That suggests the advantage of playing on a home green. Individual results were:

C Summerhayes (skip), B West, N Hinde: 8-32.
