Ladies v Gents

​The tension was palpable before the annual Ladies v Men match at Budleigh yesterday afternoon. The previous battle had been won by the ladies, so the men were under pressure from the start, and they enlisted all their best players! It was a well fought battle and at the break for tea and delicious home made cakes (provided by Jules James) the match could have gone either way. But as they say - it all changes after tea and on one side the ladies only scored 2 points, whereas the men coped better with the sugar rush and forged ahead by 17 points. On the other rink the men only scored 2 additional points, enabling the ladies to get within 4 points of a victory. 
A win for the gents, but I’m sure it won’t go to their heads! Thank you to Lynda and Angela for doing the teas. 
A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Well done to all.
