22 JENNY ORPIN MEMORIAL FOURS

Twenty teams arrived for the Jenny

in Group A. Group ‘B’ Stonyhill 2,
Group ‘C’ a five way tie with each team win-

In the Quarter Finals Outwood Common 1 raced into a 6-0 lead after 3 ends & went on
to beat Island 1 by 10 shots to 4. West Hanningfield beat Stonyhill 2 in a very close game by
6 shots to 5. In the third Quarter final East Hanningfield were 5-0 up after 3 ends & never looked
back as they beat Hadleigh Woods by 8 shots to 4. Stonyhill 1 made it into the semi-finals with
a hard fought game against 3G by 5 shots to 3.
The first semi-final it was an all Hanningfield affair with the East running away with the
game by beating West Hanningfield by 13 shots to 1, while in the second semi Stonyhill 1 only
won one end as they went down to Outwood Common by 8 shots to 3.
What a fantastic final followed, it's what a final should be with a very close game that went
back & forth to leave the scores at 6 -6 with the last end to play. The Outwood Common team
of Linda & Keith Willingham, Lynn & Sam Lambert were up against the East Hanningfield team
of Tony Orpin, Rachel Cordy, Paul Bax & Craig Burgess. In the end a superb trailing shot by
Rachel took the jack into the ditch which eventually won the end & match.
It was very fitting that Jenny’s husband Tony was in the winning team. A big thank you
goes to all the kitchen staff who produced a wonderful Roast Beef dinner for all the players.
After the Group Stages East Hanningfield made presentation to Peter Fautley’s wife, Lesley
to show our clubs appreciation for her continued support in helping out buying and preparing
meals and assisting in the kitchen on competition days.
East Hanningfield would also like to show its appreciation by thanking the players for their
continued support over the years, particularly Peggy May who regularly attends and makes
fabulous cakes for the club.
