Five Arches 102 Castle 66 (Five Arches 12pts Castle 2 pts.)
20th May 2015
A busy week for the TP Hughes and Welsh Gift Shop sponsored Five Arches team with three matches in Division 1 of the Pembrokeshire league. First up, on a cool Wednesday evening, the return fixture against the Castle team from Haverfordwest. Captain Ben and his rink of Roger, Tony and Five Arches debutant, James, played superbly , scoring numerous big counts including a 7 on the 9th end, as they strolled to a 38 shots to 14 victory. Rink 2 also saw a count of 7 for the Five arches on the 9th end, however for Neil and his rink of Tom, Harold and Peter, this proved to be the highpoint. From a comfortable 21 shots to 9 lead on the 12th end , this lead was whittled away by a determined Castle quartet who eventually won the game by 25 shots to 22. Ben, John, Jonno and Steve had a close game on rink three, playing against a triple , which is always tough , they did just enough to win by 20 shots to 13.5. Ashley and his rink of Dai, Kev and Ken had a very similar match on rink 4, again against a triple they edged to a 22 shots to 13.5 victory.
