MARY AND JANIE MARCH ON

Mary Varndell and Janie Vickers made an excellent start this evening in the Northern Area Final of the County Pairs played at Basingstoke Town. Against Cheryl Ekblad and Caroline Goodeve of Alton Social, the Oakley duo picked up 5 shots on the first end and by 6 ends led 9-3. Scores of 4 and 3 on the next two ends put Oakley in a commanding position and by 13 ends a lead of 20-6 looked insummountable and although Social, on the next end, scored a consolation 3, Oakley were in no mood to let the game slip with Social conceding after 17 ends with Oakley leading 21-11. Both our players had excellent games and we hope their good form continues on Sunday when, at Banister Park, they will play Milton Park Ladies.
