Mason Trophy

Quarter-Final Victory for Ladies

Durham Ladies fought back from a 10 shot deficit to force a 37-34 win against Cambridge Chesterton at Doncaster to qualify for the semi-final/finals stages at Loddon Vale IBC, Basingstoke, on Sunday 9th March 2008.



Playing on a neutral green at Doncaster IBC, Durham were struggling in the early part of the game and fell behind. Over the last five ends they improved and the gap began to close.With one end to play on the last remaining rink Durham had managed to gain a slender advantage of two shots .

On the final end Cambridge were holding one shot but needed two for a tie. Their skip with the last bowl of the match tried to draw another but only succeeded in knocking in a Durham bowl to give Durham one shot and a winning 3 shot margin. The win was celebrated by the team and the many supporters who had made the trip.

Congratulations to the Durham bowlers on their win and for reaching the final stages of a National competition. This is first time any team from the Club has been able to achieve it.
