During the past fortnight, Chardstock bowlers have played 11 matches, nine of them at home and two away, writes Vaughan Fletcher.

Surprisingly, the only matches that were won were the two away ones and these were very close.

The matches at Wellington and Ottery St Mary were won by two and five shots respectively.

In the East of Exe League, the club had a very close match against Hemyock, which was only decided by the last end of the final rink to finish.

That end was lost by one shot and the match by two.
