ST. ISSELL'S 80 (4 pts)

ST. KATHS 82 (10)

St. Issell's entertained St. Kath's of Milford last Sunday in a Pembrokeshire League division two encounter.

Having defeated their opponents from across the water earlier in the season, hopes were high for the double, but it was not to be, St. Issell's losing by just two shots.

On rink two, John Bingham, Bob Wood, Don Stokes and Mike Carr restricted their opponents to winning just eight ends in registering an 11-shot win.

Rink three saw Brian McKehon, Geoff Vigus, Roy Pring and Keith Rowlands come from 10 shots down after 10 ends to lead by three shots entering the last, but dropping a four led to a one-shot defeat.

Mike Oliver, John Austin, Bill Glynn and Barrie Lee on rink four led by eight shots at one stage, but losing the last three ends reduced their winning margin to four.

On rink five, Dave Williams, Dennis Reed, Brian Deeley and Derek Rowen were nine shots down after just five ends and struggled to recover, eventually down by 16.

Disappointed as they were, the St. Issell's lads will be buoyed by the return of captain Stew Howe for the remainder of the season and will be hoping for better results in this weekend's two games.

Rink scores (St. Issell's first, St. Kath's skips only):

J. Bingham, B. Wood, D. Stokes, M. Carr 23; A. Robson 12.

B. McKehon, G. Vigus, R. Pring, K. Rowlands 24; K. Walker 25.

SAUNDERSFOOT 147 CHAMELEONS 82

Saundersfoot entertained the Chameleons tourists last week in a mixed friendly encounter.

Celebrating 25 years of touring, this was the 10th occasion that the Gloucestershire side had played on the Saundersfoot green and there was much good humoured banter between the teams, many members renewing friendships.

The result may have been incidental, as often is the case with friendlies, but the villagers nonetheless put on a splendid display, winning by 65 shots.

On rink one, Dennis Reed, Pearl Thomas, Bill Glynn and Brian Deeley registered a 22-shot win, but rink two saw Mary Cavell, Frank Buckley, Mike Carr and Keith Rowlands go down by 11.

On rink three, John Bingham, Colin Roden, Kath Blayney and Roy Pring lost by just five shots, whilst the 'loaded' rink of Sue Roden, Derek Rowen, Audrey Williams and Paul Blayney restricted their opponents to winning just two ends in a 36-shot victory on rink four.

Rink five saw Elsie Pendlebury, Geoff Vigus, John Austin and Marion Evans also registering a big win by23 shots and on rink six, Brian McKehon, Lynn Statters, George Cavell and Alan Brace drew.

Rink scores (Saundersfoot first, Chameleons skips only):

D. Reed, P. Thomas, B. Glynn, B. Deeley 33; D. Long 11.

M. Cavell, F. Buckley, M. Carr, K. Rowlands 11; D. King 22.

J. Bingham, C. Roden, K. Blayney, R.. Pring 12; E. Allen 17.

S. Roden, D. Rowen, A. Williams, P. Blayney 39; L. Fisher 3.

E. Pendlebury, G. Vigus, J. Austin, M. Evans 31; C. King 8.

B. McKehon, L. Statters, G. Cavell, A. Brace 21; R. King 21.

SAUNDERSFOOT LADIES 40

PEMBROKE DOCK LADIES 28

Saundersfoot ladies picked up four of the six points at stake when they entertained Pembroke Dock ladies.

Captain Angela Roberts led for skip Marion Evans, with Steph Amos at number two and Ann Davies third. Always in control, the home rink registered a 24 shots to 10 win over Diana Davies.

Viv Edwards, Ann Evans, Joyce Waters and Lorna Bissell narrowly lost to Betty James by 18 shots to 16.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to John Jenkins on winning the Pembrokeshire over 60s singles title last Saturday.

In a tough encounter against Stuart King-Thomas, of Pendine, John recovered from 10 shots down to edge home 21-19.

This is the second time in three years that John has won this event and will now travel to Llandrindod Wells next month to represent the county in the national finals.

John was also due to partner Alan Brace in the over 60s pairs final, but due to the inclement weather, this was postponed until last night.

Here's hoping that there will be more good news to report next week!
