Kewstoke Annual Spring Fours

Somerset Teams on Top

After a three year break due to Covid,
Kewstoke once again held their an-
nual Spring Fours Tournament in the
Village Hall. Only ten teams entered
this year from Devon, Somerset and
Wales.
The teams were spilt into two
groups of five. Each team played
four games on a round robin basis on
four different mats. The overall win-
ner and runner up were decided on
points scored and shot difference.
After four games Evercreech
were leading their group with six
points, while Middlezoy after three
games already had six points so they
Fours Champions Middlezoy (Somerset) needed a draw to win by one shot
Linda Glover, Kenny Glover, Mike Davis Kewstoke which is exactly what they did reserv-
Chairman, Mel Morris and Paul Fisher (Skip) ing their place in the Final.
The second group however had two clear teams, Mark Village B and Oake Tree, with both being on
7 points. However this is where shot difference came into it with Mark Village B having plus seven
and Oake Tree just one point behind with plus six points.
With both teams having played so well
in the earlier rounds, the Final was anything
but close. Middlezoy scored the first four ends
taking eight shots already when Mark Village
took their first shot. After that they only man-
aged to pick up one more shot on the seventh
end with Middlezoy finishing with fourteen
shots to Mark Village B two shots, making Mid-
dlezoy the overall winners on the day.

lan Nurses at Weston hospital. Many thanks Fours Finalists Mark Village B (Somerset)
