Maureen Norgate’s team of four unfortunately lost their game yesterday against Sylvia Bloomfield of Connaught which was played on Connaught’s very heavy green.
However, Isabel Anderson’s team beat the second team from Buckhurst Hill this week in a very exciting match which was very even all the way until the last few ends when the Buckhurst skip, who had been firing with great accuracy scattering the good woods of Wanstead Central, lost her way and miss the head several times allowing Central to run out the winners.
Isabel’s team of Eve Beaken. Barbara Barr and Janet Bird now meet Connaught on the neutral ground of Silverthorn

We we blessed with a sunny, if not overly warm, Bank Holiday for the annual all day event.
The pairs of Trish Banfield & George Coster, Mavis Seabrook & Brian Bessell, Barbara Crouch & Kevin Fitzgerald and Brenda Spicer & Colin Foster made it through the round-robin stages to the semis.
Trish & George beat Brenda & Colin, and Mavis & Brian beat Barbara & Kevin to contest the final
Trish’s steady leading in the final, backed up by some spectacular jack-trailing by George saw them run out 8-1 winners.

Maureen Norgate had a relatively easy win in the singles 21-12.
The pairs came from behind and only lost 15-17.
Unfortunately the triples went down quite heavily so it was up to the Fours to save the day.
[Ed.] Unlike the Men’s version there are only four disciplines in the Ladies Top Club, so a 2-all situation is decided on shots[Ed]
On the 18th end it was all square at 19 all. Central then scored a 1, and a 4 which still left an overall score of minus 1.
However, our ladies kept their nerve and managed a score of 2 on the last end giving us a plus one winning score.
They now meet Falcon away on the 20th July.

In their third clash of the season Central played Ilford in the London and Southern Counties Shield.
Away at Ilford the two rinks roughly cancelled each other out shotwise. Unfortunately at Nutter Lane both rinks succumbed so Ilford beat us again. That makes it 2-1 to them so far. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to redress the balance later in the season

Within 24 hours of the Men’s loss in their Top Club competition the Ladies took on Epping in their equivalent.
The Ladies won three out of the four disciplines to book themselves a place in the next round on the infamous Bantham and Ongar artificial green next Saturday.

In the second of this weekend’s National double fours matches Central’s A team took on local rivals Ilford. Just a few weeks ago we were playing on the same side as a lot of their men during the indoor season, but there is always a healthy rivalry between our two clubs outdoors.
On this occasion Central took an early lead on both rinks and by half way we were very much in control and just had to avoid any slip ups. In some welcome sunshine the A team held their own and were compfortably ahead at the end as well.
Next opponents, Fords or South Woodford.

Two stalwarts of the club celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by attending Peter’s infamous quiz night.
18262 days ago Janet and Mick Bird pledged to love, honour and answer trivia until a tie break question did them part.
Congratulations to them both.

It’s only three weeks into the season and already the serious fixtures are coming thick and fast.
Eight men from Brentwood BC paid a visit to Central on Saturday morning to vie with our double fours B team. Unfortunately the traffic, cold weather and threats of rain didn’t blunt their performance. Our boys kept in touch until the last third of the game when Brentwood stretched out a lead on one rink, and although the other rink had a chance to redress the balance in the closing ends, Brentwood ran out the winners.
However, the A team have the chance to make amends tomorrow.

The indoor season comes to a close and once again we take up the outdoors battle against the massed ranks of Essex’s bowlers, and against the elements of course.
