Match Report - 26 Sep 2015, Hertfordshire County Short Mat Bowling Association ICC Rinks Competition lost to Surrey
A win for Hertfordshire in the final group match would be enough to qualify for the finals but it wasn't to be.
Michael West's rink continued their winning ways. They began with an opening 4 shot count before Surrey hit back with a 3 and a string of singles. After 6 ends, Surrey slipped ahead by a single shot. The Hertfordshire players responded positively, winning four of the last six ends and winning 12-8.
Darren Stanford's rink had a very lopsided game going six ends without scoring to trail by 10 shots at half way. A strong finish, with the only blemish being a tied end, they stormed back to lose by just one at 9-10.
The Gaylers and their teammates won their first three ends but dropped a 6 on the 5th end and trailed by 3 at 6 ends. They got back within one shot but couldn't quite close the gap and lost by a narrow 2 shot margin 8-10.
The final rink skipped by Liz Bradley suffered at the hands of a very strong Surrey quartet. Dropping a 5 and a 4 early on, they couldn't prevent the opposition powering to a 5-21 score.
