Christow v Abbotskerswell - Review

Christow gained a valuable 8 points on Wednesday evening when they entertained table-topping Abbotskerswell in the Teignbridge League.

Christow were fully in control before tea winning on both mats.

After tea the matches were much tighter, and although Christow came out on top on mat 2 it was not to be on mat 1, as Christow lost any momentum over the final 3 ends.

To summarise:

Before tea

Mat 1 - Christow 18 Abbotskerswell 4

Mat 2 - Christow 18 Abbotskerswell 2

After Tea

Mat 1 - Christow 9 Abbotskerswell 14

Mat 2 - Christow 8 Abbotskerswell 5

Totals

Christow 53 Abbotskerswell 25

The Christow "Christmas Night-Out in January"

 A thoroughly enjoyable night was had by all on Thursday January 26th 2023.

23 members (including their better halves) met at the Teign House Inn for what turned out to be a great night.

Everybody enjoyed the great food and generous portions.

Many thanks again to Steve and Wendy for organising the evening.

Christow v Bishopsteignton (away) - Review

It was a frustrating night as Bishopsteignton entertained Christow in the return Teignbridge League of fixture. 

From all reports the real Christow failed to turn up!

Before tea, on mat 1 Christow lost 5-15.

On mat 2, Christow went into the final end 9-8 ahead, but failed to capitalise and lost the measure to end the game 9-9

It was a nightmare after tea with Christow losing on both mats, 2-24 and 10-18

So, a single point to Christow and a serious dent in their league challenge. 

To summarise (and to prolong the agony) ....

Before tea

Mat 1 - Christow 5 Bishopsteignton 15

Mat 2 - Christow 9 Bishopsteignton 9

After Tea

Mat 1 - Christow 2 Bishopsteignton 24

Mat 2 - Christow 10 Bishopsteignton 18

Totals

Christow 26 Bishopsteignton 66

Christow v Bishopsteignton - Review

It was a frustrating night as Christow took on Bishopsteignton at the Community Hall last night.

An over-indulgence over Christmas was evident on Mat 1 (before tea) and it took a good 5 ends before Christow started to play! It was a close game in the end and Christow went into the final end trailing by a single point. But it was not to be and a 3 to the away side saw Christow lose 12-16.

It was a different story on Mat 2 with Christow dominating from the start. A 20-6 win helped restore some sort of order.

It was a similar story on Mat 1 after tea with Christow running away to a 21-3 victory.

The game on Mat 2 was another close match and the teams went into the final end tied on 10 shots each. Christow had the last wood of the game and came agonisingly close to trailing the jack. After a nail-biting measure, Bishopsteignton were given the shot to come out victors 11-10.

So, 6 points to Christow (including the 2 points shot bonus)

To summarise....

Before tea

Mat 1 - Christow 12 Bishopsteignton 16

Mat 2 - Christow 20 Bishopsteignton 6

After Tea

Mat 1 - Christow 21 Bishopsteignton 3

Mat 2 - Christow 10 Bishopsteignton 11

Totals

Christow 63 Bishopsteignton 36
