MATCH REPORT SATURDAY 18 MAY
“Apart from some drizzle the rain held off for our friendly game against Shefford at home, on Saturday 18 May. The sun came out as the game finished, Ampthill bowlers warmed up too, and we won overall 78-56, although it was an honourable 2-all on rinks.
The sun also shone on our skips when all 4 won the raffle prizes. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often. (In fact we can’t remember it happening before! ) Let us hope lightning doesn’t strike twice - in the raffle anyway? “
