Aberporth Vs Tygwydd, 23rd September, 2010

Aberporth 6, Tygwydd 2

The visitors made an excellent start in both the singles and pairs, going well ahead in both games. The singles seemed to be going all their way until the 11th end when Aberporth took 3 to make it level. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late, and Tygwydd managed one on the last end to take the game.

The home pairs got going a little earlier and steamed home to an 11-8 win after being 6-0 down at the start of the 6th end!

In the triples, Aberporth dominated for most of the game, and, despite Davina's best efforts, went on to win 13-8

The home rinks started well, but the visitors would not roll over and die. The gap was slowly opened up to the extent that, on the last end, the Aberporth skip elected not to play the final wood, giving three away, as this would finish the game with the home team one up.

Aberporth Vs Llechryd, 30th September, 2010

Aberporth 6, Llechryd 2

The singles started fairly evenly, but Paul Edwards took 3 on the fourth end, only to have Llechryd's Bill Jones punish him with a 3 for setting a short jack on the next end . With a few ends of 1s and 2s, the big scores coming towards the end; Aberporth won 16 - 8

In the pairs, Aberporth's Emyr Williams and Cory Williams established an 8 point lead that Llechryd's David Wiffer and Ken Buttifint-Carr could not claw back, the home team winning 13 - 6

Rhian Williams, Winston Jones and Bill Coombs played well for Aberporth, setting an early lead that Margaret Barnes, Elaine Taylor and Pauline Palmer, for the visitors, could not touch. The home team went on to win 13 - 5

In the rinks, Llechryd's David Bailey, Rosemary Wiffen, Peter Dyer and Geoff Palmer fought well to come back from a significant deficit and hang on to the tails of Aberporth's Gethin Davies, Debbie Thomas, Ian Street and Brian Lawrence. Their persistence paid off as they reeled Aberporth in and went on to win 11 – 10
