Bude Ladies

The County Quarter Finals of the National Pairs were held at Bodmin and our team of Beryl Vickery & Cynthia May were successful against a team from Porthleven taking them to the semi-final where they played a team from Lostwithiel. This was quite a game. They were slow to get started and were0-14 down after 6 ends but didn't give up and clawed their way back to 23-23at 21 ends forcing an extra end. Despite both Beryl and Cynthia bowling superb woods they were beaten by a perfect draw shot from the opposing skip.

It was a very exciting game and a very good performance from both players.
