Friendly Match at Pinces Gardens

​Playing at Pinces Gardens this year was like Groundhog Day.
The threatening grey clouds never delivered any rain. The lead Budleigh had gained before tea was slowly eroded after the boost of the wonderful lemon cake which seemed to work better on the home team as they clawed back to win overall. Maybe that it their secret weapon?
But it was a lovely, friendly, enjoyable match on the quirky green.
It was Torbay Air Show and the sight of the two spitfires and a tornado were maybe too much of a distraction for our players. Budleigh won on only one rink and that win by only one point.
Much of this was exactly what happened on the same day last year!
