Games don’t get any harder in the Pembrokeshire league, than a game against the mighty Tenby team. So on a sunny Sunday afternoon we looked forward to a tough match. On rink 1 , in front of the crowd, Mike, Peter, James and Neil were soon under the hammer against Paul’s Tenby rink. They trailed by 21 shots to 5 after 11 ends and despite a better performance in the second half of the game, they finally succumbed by 33 shots to 10. Ashley with Dai, Turbo and Ken all played well to compete with and just edge out Ryan’s rink. Holding a slender a 1 shot advantage at tea, the game remained tight throughout with the five Arches quartet eventually winning by 22 shots to 15. Ben, John , Jonno and Steve were involved in another tight game, drawing 9 all at tea , the game was decided by Andrew’s  Tenby rink picking 14 shots in a run of five ends and drawing away to win by 26 shots to 15. Finally on rink 4, The Five Arches welcomed the silky skills of Simon Evans, returning to play in the Pembrokeshire league. However it was a baptism of fire for Simon and his rink of Roger, Tony and Ben. They trailed by 16 shots to 5 at tea and JR’s rink consolidated in the second half to win by 29 shots to 10.
