 Sadly rain stopped play this afternoon in our friendly home match with Ottery St Mary. But it didn’t stop everyone from enjoying a cuppa and chatting about how things might have been!

 A lovely sunny afternoon for our home match against Exonia yesterday. We had a win on one rink, with Les, Wendy and Judith, (well done), but sadly the skills of the Exonia players on the other three rinks outshone our own players.
 We started off in the rain when we visited Topsham yesterday and initially things were going well for us. By tea time the rain had stopped and scores could have gone either way. Unfortunately they didn’t go our way and the end result was a heavy loss for Budleigh. The only saviour was our team on the only rink playing against a Topsham team of men only, who had a good 16-8 win. Well done Brian Membery, Russ and Jackey!
An enjoyable afternoon and we were made very welcome.  A home win on all four rinks for our teams against Phear Park on Saturday. Final score 76-45.
Well done everyone  There seems to be a common theme with the winning team of our club quizzes! It’s that man standing on the left - Brian Ward! He has been part of the winning team in our last three quizzes. Who can stop him now? He was joined last night by Mike, Andy and Jen, pictured below with Quizmaster John, returning to his rightful post after a short absence.
Another fun evening yesterday, with fish and chips and lots of laughter. Thank you to everyone who made the evening such a success.  Sunny smiles pre-match at Honiton for a friendly game on 14th August. I don’t suppose our Budleigh players were so cheerful post-match!
 Twelve Budleigh players travelled to Chardstock on Saturday to play on the 'challenging' rink under sunny skies and in the gusty wind. One team, skipped by our match captain Penny Weeks, with Ann Vincent and Trevor Davey had an astounding win of 28-5. The other rinks struggled to find their form and didn’t fair so well but, in the spirit of friendship, the overall score was called a draw!
An enjoyable afternoon in the beautiful countryside. |
