Last scheduled game of the season -- already! -- though we've still got a quartet of games to catch up on. Back at the Manor Club in the town centre on another blinkin' cold, albeit dry, night.

Couple of new faces in tonight's opposition including, blimey charlie, a lady player. I know. That'll be Rosemary, who's clearly played once or twice before and who went on to thrash the lot of us. There's also hard-hitting Mick and father-of-five Matt, he of the Trinder clan. In brief:

• 2/3 for Kennedy, mastering Mick over 5 ends and hanging on to beat Matt
• 1/3 for Ed, edging Matt in a deuce in the 5th and final end
• 0/3 for Steve, alas, blowing cold and feeling hot (he's not well, poor lad)

With Steve saying his farewells early on to get back to his sick bed, that left Ed and Kennedy to do the doubles one more time. Super frustratingly lost in the 5th end. Darn. Came away with a 3-7 defeat: gonna need more points.
