Wednesday 9 June and Marine took on Middleton BC in a County men’s competition; the Abergavenny double rink, one rink playing at home and the other away. Fair to say Marine do not normally progress far in this format, but everything clicked on this balmy evening. The away rink of Paul Baker, Bob Cole, Dave Mugridge & skip Ivan Godsmark won by 14 shots to 10.

At home, the quartet of Dave Holden, Albert Leatham, Terry Urben & skip Harry Smith were similarly determined, winning by 18 shots to 8. A date with one of East Preston, Chichester or Tarring Priory awaits on 23 June.

Thursday 10 June and Marine hosted Pulborough in a friendly game; three triples. A sunny & warm afternoon saw an unusual match in which the hosts lost on two rinks. However, the triple of Reg Perkins, Wendy Wilson & skip Ivan Godsmark won so handsomely; by 27 shots to 6, that the hosts still pinched victory overall by 52 shots to 43.

Friday 11 June and Marine entertained Crablands in a friendly match of three triples. The visitors snaffled a win on one rink, but the hosts enjoyed comfortable wins on the other two and a victory overall by 66 shots to 41. And although mixed friendlies are of course the norm, it was still good to see that; visitors and hosts combined, women made up half the players present.
