We had a disastrous start dropping 10 shots in the first four ends before we managed to start scoring. In the end this was to be our downfall. Over the last 14 ends it was pretty much honours even and although we fought back at one stage to be only 3 shots behind it was never to be our day. On the next end we held four shots only for Yvonne to get shot with a tickle off a short bowl, but a 5 shot turn around. A couple of ends later I had a similar shot but they were only holding 1 at the time so only a 2 shot turnaround. On the 17th end we held 3 shots but Yvonne drew a 2nd and then with her final bowl turned our shot out to give them 2. It left us needing 6 on the final end and a bridge too far.
It was a disappointing end to our pairs campaign but some days you have to accept that today isn't your day. In fighting back we showed our spirit, kept our heads up and never quit.
At the presentation we discovered that the Ladies Pairs event was sponsored by Dales carpets and in view of the problems at San Luis I did tell John Muldoon that we would collect our free carpet later - don't think so!
Big thanks to all the San Luis members who came to support us in the final - sorry we couldn't go the final mile. Also thanks to all the Southern Costa Blanca members who were cheering us on. The cheers helped us as we tried to get back and were much appreciated.
