Bishopsteignton v Christow - Teignbridge League 2023/24 - Review

Christow travelled to Bishopsteignton to take on not only their team but also the village floor!!!

The parking could be added to the above too!

The match itself was somewhat scrappy due the aforementioned flooring but a good night was enjoyed by all nonetheless.

Before tea Christow scrapped two narrow wins, by the same score,11 shots to 10.

After tea is was a relatively one-side affair on mat 2 with Bishopsteignton winning 13-3

On mat 1 Christow pulled back a 7 shot deficit, by winning the final 4 ends, to earn a 10 shots all draw.

To summarise:

Before tea

Mat 1 - Bishopsteignton 10 Christow 11

Mat 2 - Bishopsteignton 10 Christow 11

After Tea

Mat 1 - Bishopsteignton 10 Christow 10

Mat 2 - Bishopsteignton 13 Christow 3

Totals

Bishopsteignton 43 Christow 35

So, Christow only gained a disappointing 5 points and now move on to play away at Exminster on December 10th 2024 (19:30 start)
