Hello to all our Barnet League followers. This week our top three teams got an outing. Lets see how the evening went and how the results changed our league table.
Mat one and Harpenden Eagles Val, Dierdre and Gordan were playing Greenwood Hawks Barry, Val and Mark. Looking to retain their unbeaten status Hawks started with a double and followed that with three more, a single and a four and were already 13 – 0 up after six ends. Eagles left the nest and held end seven for a single, unfortunately they all returned to the nest. Hawks took the remaining eight ends and the game with a 28 – 1 win.
Mat two and Potters Bar Kestrels Steve, David and Barry were playing Letchworth Lions Alan S, Andrew and Margaret. Kestrels drew first blood with a single. Lions matched this single and then took the lead with a double. Kestrels rose to the challenge and held a single and regained the lead with a double. Lions roared and took a triple for a 6 – 4 lead after six ends. Kestrels came straight back; they took two singles to draw level and then took two more for an 8 – 6 lead. Lions held a single on end eleven but Kestrels regained their two shot lead with a single the following end. End thirteen and Lions held a double to draw level at nine all with two ends to play. The penultimate end saw Lions regain the lead with a single. The last end and Lions held on for a final double to take the win at 12 – 9.
Mat three had Greenwood Peckers Audrey, Sue and Brian playing Greenwood Kites Malcolm, Angie and Maz. Kites started with a single and followed on with a second. Peckers got up and running, they drew level with a double, took the lead with a second and continued with a single. Kites held end six for a double to be just one shot behind. Peckers came back for another double but Kites replied by taking a triple and drew level at seven all after eight ends. Kites fought on but the wind dropped and Peckers held the remaining seven ends, taking four singles, a double, a triple and a massive five they had taken the win at 21 – 7.
Mat four and our table leaders Northiam East’s Mike, Jan and Martin played Fairfield Falcons Gill A, Bev and Neil. Falcons started well with a triple which East matched on end two. East then started a run of ends that included three singles, a double and a triple for an 11 – 3 lead after seven ends. Falcons then started to come back; they held a double followed by two singles to reduce their deficit to 7 – 11. East increased their lead with a double on end eleven. Falcons held another single but East matched this and then pulled further in front with another triple. Falcons held the final end for a single but East had the win at 17 – 9.
Well there you have it our top three teams all got another win under their belts. The only movement on our table saw Peckers rise two places thanks to their win. Next week Northiam East get a rest week. Greenwood Hawks will be playing Letchworth Lions. A win for Hawks will see them take top spot but will Lions roar again and hold them in that second spot.
See you all next week.
