Hants and Berks Cup Final
Our men won through to the Area Final of this competition against Alton Social; unfortunately, we were beaten on all rinks, but it's a great achievement to make it to the final. Congratulations to all our players.
Herbie Turner - Men's Salisbury and District Competition
Our men's Lions team won through to the final to take on Pewsey Reds. It was a very close game, ending in a tie, so an extra end had to be played, which our Lions team won.
Tony Alcock Trophy
This is a National 2 x mixed rink competition. Andover played Cove at home in the semi-final of Hampshire North/East Area on Saturday 24 June. It was a very good, closely contested game; unfortunately, Andover came 2nd, losing the game overall by just 4 shots.
Our two rinks were skipped by Janet Williamson (score 12/13) and Robin Kingston (score 12/15). A very good effort by all the team.
