Match Report - Quartz v Albir Bears
Monday 17th November
Quartz 4, Albir Bears 6
On Monday 17th November Quartz travelled down to Albir Bears on a beautiful sunny morning and we received a warm welcome from them.
By half way it was clear that unless something drastic occurred, we were looking at two rinks winning with the other two, although down on points at this stage, being hotly contested.
After the 18 ends, Sue Kent, Jonathan Barr and skip Brian Rich had a resounding win giving Quartz an early shot difference. Jenny Rich, Norman Richardson and skip Graham Muir took an early lead only to find that bit by bit Albir were clawing their way back and, going into the last end, Quartz just had their noses in front, they held onto their lead and won by 5 shots.
It was not to be the case on the remaining two rinks however. Pauline Anderton, Terry Wheeler and skip Ken Davey were up against some stiff opposition and on the penultimate end the match could have gone either way, but Albir just had the edge on them.
Similarly the last match of Carol Davey, Stan Staines and skip Peter Anderton was up against tough opposition and Albir again took this game.
Final result Quartz 4 – Albir 6; Albir taking the two points for an overall 7 point shot difference.
Match Report - Quartz v Finca Guila
Monday 3rd November
Quartz 8, Finca Guila 2
On Monday 3rd November we were pleased, and relieved, to see blue skies and sunshine for our Northern League match.
Fairly on in the game, it became clear, that there were going to be some tight matches ahead, with perhaps the exception of rink 1, where Jenny Rich, Norman Richardson & Graham Muir and, on rink 6, Jonathan Barr, Brian Rich & Terry Wheeler took an early lead.
By the half way mark Finca Guila were starting to read the greens and, although rink 6 were still ahead, on rink 1 the match was getting close, whilst on rink 2 Pauline Anderton, Sue Kent and Ken Davey for Javea were also making a come back. So at this point the match could have gone either way. In the event however Javea won by 8 points to 2 and with an overall shot difference of 27. This I believe takes Javea Quartz into top position in the Northern League after seven matches.
Our thanks to the three reserve teams who also won on 2 rinks.
Also thanks to Alison and Jack Brown for organising the raffle and to Ken Davey for captaining Javea Quartz during the absence of Captain Dave.
N.B. The Quartz game on Monday 10th November, away to El Cid Swords, has now been moved to the 19th and will be at home.
