In the second match Gary Moss and team took on Lu Urby et al.
Lu had a pretty strong line up going into this game and Norma Relf, Jean Holstein, Tony Tersteeg and Lu did prove too strong for Gary, Hellen Crittenden, Jim Whittaker and Michelle Biggs to the tune of 29 shots to 7.
In a one sided contest the ends went 15 to 6 in Lu's favour. Alongside this match was one played early from next weekends round 2 schedule.
This was a much closer contest and was in fact all square at 20 all going to the last end. A one shot victory on end 21 allowed Di Lockwood, George Wisemantle, John Murray and Bev Murray to advance to the next round over Bev Germon, Jill Everett, Kevin Burley and Kevin Everett.
The ends were 11 to 10 in Bev's favour and the lead changed 4 times through the match. It cannot get any closer and all players must have been on edge throughout. Next Sunday 29th October is the second round with the greens full of teams starting at 0930hrs.
