Saturday 30th March 2019 Cambridge Park v Teddington
This was the last match of the indoor season against Cambridge Park and true to form, we lost again! I hasten to say we did not lose by as many points as we did in the previous match so that is an improvement. The score was 48 to us and 86 to them.
We seem to start off well but then we have the tea break when “everything changes after tea” and usually not in our favour – maybe we have too many biscuits! However the match was played in a good spirit and was enjoyed by all. Keep reminding yourselves that it is the taking part, not the winning that counts.
Thank you all for playing so well and trying very hard. Hopefully we will get our revenge outdoors. Chris

Sunday 17th February 2019 Cambridge Park v Teddington
We classed this as “our” match so to the amusement of Cambridge Park they were the visitors and therefore it was their jack. Unfortunately this seemed to mean it was their jack most of the game! I would like to thank all the members who played – it really is appreciated and hopefully you will try to make yourself available for the next match which is on Saturday 30th March.
You all played well but Cambridge Park do have some very good players and it is really frustrating when we are holding several points and “they” come along and take the point! Sometimes though it does work in our favour but not often enough. Still on a positive note – we managed to win the raffle 3-2 and I was given a packet of jelly babies, so not all bad!

Indoor Match - Cambridge Park v Teddington 13th January 2019. The score was 101-67.
At last the match against Cambridge Park took place and as usual a warm welcome was given to us by Captain Amanda and her players. Brenda, from Cambridge Park, kindly stepped in to play for us. I was going to say we were a player short but feared this might be misconstrued!.
I would like to thank everyone for turning up and playing and to our guests who supported us. I have to say I was extremely nervous (to say the least) and unfortunately did not play very well - I will put it down to nerves although I may be using that as a good excuse.
There were three rinks that had very close scores and were so close to winning and are to be congratulated for their efforts. Unfortunately the team I was playing in did not fare at all well. However in our defence we were against two outstanding players Amanda and Barry. They play for Osterley and all I can say is that I am glad we don't play against them outdoors.
The next match is on Sunday 17th March so please put your names down as you will be needed.
