result of match played against redwell at home on thursday 21st March 2024
A nice win for Saxons last Thursday, 21st March 2024, in our ‘home’ match against visiting teams from Redwell ( Wellingborough ), which was played at Saxon Hall.
On mat 1, Saxons ‘A’ team started nicely, winning the first two ends. However they then seemed to lose their way, and the next four ends, and were 2 – 8 down after six ends.
Thankfully they began to find their form after that and built up a steadily increasing score, overtaking Redwell and allowing them to win only one more end, and one more shot, in the rest of the game.
The final score was a win to Saxons by 18 - 9
Saxons ‘B’ on mat 2 dominated the first nine ends of their game, only giving up one end to Redwell and leading at that point by 13 – 1.
While the thirteenth end was a tied one where both teams had bowls resting on the jack, the other six ends were divided equally between the two teams, three each.
But the lead already built up was too much for Redwell to overcome, and this game finished with a decent win by Saxons, 18 - 6
Saxon ‘A’ won by 18 - 9
Saxon ‘B’ won by 18 - 6
Saxons won overall then, 36 to 15
Team A: Linda Gill, Kathy Marshall, David Hill, Roger Bond
Team B: Anna Davies, Tony Sellick, Chris Selling, Roger Gill
