Well Gentlemen, we did not pull it off in the Ivor Fourmy Trophy Final at Fordingbridge against Lyndhurst. Amazing the number of times in these aggregate matches that the team taking the early lead end up losing, which is exactly how it happened on Saturday.
Downton were at least 6 ahead after five ends, only to be over come by 15 shots by the 18th end. Credit to Geoff, Ivan and Martin who won their rink, unfortunately the rest of us could not support them. Never mind, as someone said ” for a small club we hit above our weight”.
This of course is true on how we can also host finals at Downton on the same day: most of the men being at Fordingbridge during the morning. Well done to our people on the ground to see through the Finals day there.
Regards
Alan
