Narrow defeat - Crown Green! (May 2024)
Lilleshall lost to Stone Crown BC by the narrowest of margins in a well contested, friendly game played on Stone's newly refurbished green, with a much more pronounced "crown".
With Lilleshall "borrowing" a couple of players the game consisted of 12 pairs games, each played over 11 ends. All our players played twice and the pairs were mixed up after the first 6 games.
On the usual measure Stone beat us by 1 shot (108 to 107). However, over the 12 games Lilleshall won 5 and drew 3, only losing 4. Of those 4 losses, 3 were the first 3 games played. Of the wins, 2 were by 2 shots & 2 by 4 shots. The best win was by 5 shots, by the pair of Ian Harper & Rob Attwood.
On individual levels, Ian & Rob had 2 wins each, Steve Turner had a win & a draw, Mike Caird had 2 draws, Peter Hancock, Quentin Smith, Mark Hussell, Liz Caird & Barbara Barlow all had 1 win, & Mark Kaleta had a draw - so every Lilleshall player made a contribution to the final outcome.
Lilleshall are girding their loins (that's some mental picture) for the return match at home, on the flat, on 20 August.
