Website updated 05-Nov-2026

Our 2026 – 2027 season continued on Thursday 29st October, with an Away match at Stanwick.

In what seemed to be another close game Saxons ‘A’ shared the first half of their match with Stanwick, both of them drawing equal after the first eight ends with scores of 6 each. But in the second half Stanwick took the next three ends and pulled ahead by 4 shots.. Then despite both teams scoring 3 shots and a couple of singles, Saxons were unable to close the gap in the last five ends and left Stanwick with the win by 14 shots to 11.

It was a similar story for Saxons ‘B’ on the other mat at the start, who after the first seven ends were drawing with Stanwick, 5 shots each.
From then on, although Stanwick won more ends than Saxons, it was Saxons who took the lead by scoring more highly, taking 4 shots in both the tenth end and the thirteenth. In a close finish, Stanwick were unable to add enough to their score in the last few ends, and Saxons held on to their advantage and their nerve, taking the last end with just 1 shot, and winning by 15 shots to 13.

Sadly it was another, even closer, loss to Saxons overall, by a single shot,

Saxons ‘A’ lost by 11 – 14
Saxons ‘B’ won by 15 – 13
Saxons lost overall, 26 to 27

Team A : Carole Bourne, Mike Johnson, Tony Sellick, Chris Selling
