Valencian Championships - another day

Having both lost on Sunday we had yesterday off, but decided to go support our other mens rinks team in their second game. Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived they started losing ends, having been 3 shots up when we arrived. Needless to say they didn't win  and so San Luis men are all out of the rinks and the ladies out of the triples.
Today I was playing singles at San Miguel against Mel Highland - the only other San Luis lady to enter the singles.
To say neither of us bowled well is an understatement.  We won 10 ends each but couldn't put 2 ends together.  I couldn't get any feel for the weight at all.  We went into the final end 19-18 to Mel,  At one stage I held 3 shots but Mel played better and finished the end with the 2 she needed.  She will play Janet McNeil (a home player) tomorrow.  I now have 2 days off before the rinks at Emerald Isle on Friday when Mel joins our triples team that played on Sunday.
We left San Miguel to go to El Rancho to see some of the San Luis lads playing pairs.  Victorious at El Rancho were Mal Hughes & Keith Roberts and Colin Highland & Charlie Marigold.  Losing on an extra end (know that feeling) were Ian Young and Phil Morrachan.  News from Greenlands that Mike Cox & John Featherstone had also won.
Allen starts his pairs campaign at El Rancho tomorrow morning and the victorious teams from today will play tomorrow afternoon.
