On this very pleasant late Spring Saturday afternoon we welcomed our good friends from Crosskeys to Fields Road for this 2 rink friendly match.
On rink 1 the four of Richard Beaugie, Beynon Jones, Alan Willmott, and Richie Jones enjoyed a very tight battle with the Keys four of former mister man Alan Williams, B. Kane, R. Faulkner and W. Hancock. The mister men took an early lead 4-1 on 5 ends, before the Keys edged ahead 5-9 on 10 ends, they increased their advantage to 10-15 on 15 ends, & despite a strong finish by Pontymister the Keys managed to hold on for a 13-15 win.
On rink 2 the four of Dennis Lewis, Jamie Roberts, Sean Kenvyn and Ian Collier were involved in another good game against B. Duggan, Mitch Santwris, Chris Perry and K. Edwards. It was 3-2 to Pontymister on 5 ends, but the Keys won 4 of the next 5 ends to lead 6-13 on 10 ends, the Athletic came back strongly to close the arrears to 13-15 on 15 ends before the Keys eventually won 14-19.
Overall the score was Pontymister Athletic 27 Crosskeys 34. Congratulations to Crosskeys and our thanks for agreeing to this game at short notice.
