Ethan Lord and I in the Pairs Again. Ethan Skipped as usual when we play. We were leading 12-1 after 7 ends and they went short on us and we could not handle it on the slow carpet. Down 12-15 after 12 and chasing from there. We had a terrific game and were at 19-19 on the 20th end but on the last end dropped a 1 to lost 19-20. Our loss caused defeat over all. Paul Burke won 31-24 in singles, Wayne Marshalls Impressive Fours had a great win. Triples went down heavily. Hoops went down on last 3 ends to lose 17-22. Lost 2-3 overall. At least we are competitive and it was great to play this standard of competition again and get away from Social, dispite our loss.
The New carpet is nice, Slow though being new. About 12-13 seconds and needed a good push. Once worn in and stretched it will be a nice speed. Give it a few months.
