Wednesday 25th September 202
We started our day in grey skies & sombre mood. The news of the sudden passing of our stalwart, much loved player Ian Hawkins was being conveyed as we gathered. We all knew “Ian of the pink woods” who led so well & brought us all together new players & seasoned “pros”. Many of us enjoyed Ian’s Thursday sessions where newbies had a genuine welcome & were seamlessly slotted in to play with the regulars. Only last Thursday Ian was with us as usual. We did you proud today Ian. This was an excellent friendly..and we won too !
Well done we fielded a full team on our last match of the “summer” season. Captain of the day David Jarrett led us to victory. Although the score was not glorious on every rink everyone gave it their all. Mote Park players all gave us a warm welcome thanking us for making the journey.
At tea Egerton Park had their noses ahead 42:38 & 3 rinks apiece. The final score was 95:84.
Well done to our top rink of John Gilbert, Doris Wickenden & Tim Jeffery with a splendid 24:4.
Special thanks to our drivers today. The way home in the dark with heavy rain was strewn with roadworks & road closures.
