In the SABA Enterprise League Greenlands Oranges fresh from an excellent 12-2 win against San Miguel Comets, faced a much stronger San Miguel side when they came up against their Meteors. The Oranges did manage two wins courtesy of John Newell/Tony Roberts/Ronnie Cairns plus Zoe Wilcock/Carol Rudge and Janet Madgewick earning them 4 valuable points.

In the Hurricane Division the Greens entertained the San Luis Klingons and recorded an excellent 10 points to 4 victory with a 107 to 96 shot score. Winning rinks for the Greens were Brian Tomlin/Hilda Cork and Jenny Bowman 18-14, Beryl Styring/Jack Jackson and Les Styring 25-13, Noel Cork/Anne and John Rudkin 24-14, Jeannie Clements/Colin Lloyd and Dave O`Sullivan 20-10. Note:- Nice to see Fred Tilley finally attending the correct venue after his scenic tour of the Costa Blanca last week!!

Greenlands SABA Yellows bounced back after a rare defeat last week at the Emerald Isle with a convincing 12 points to 2 win over the La Siesta Pioneers 122 to 93 to stay in contention in their division. The Winter League team also returned to winning ways away at Bonalba. Two winning rinks for each team but Greenlands took the overall shot score by5 points to take home 6 points. The Berleen team did not do as well losing on both rinks to come home empty handed.

In the Southern League Division A the Yellows travelled to play the San Luis Lions and were well and truly beaten on all six rinks. One or two were close but generally the Lions proved to strong on the day. In Division B the Oranges played El Rancho and lost by 10 points to 4.
