The first of two matches against Surrey was held at Guildford on 11th May. It was a slow start for the majority of the players, some experiencing the very fast, bendy mats for the first time. Surrey stormed into a good lead during the morning's two sessions but West Sussex made a determined effort in the afternoon taking the two sessions with 14 points out of a possible 24. Surrey won the match by 30 points to 18 and by 356 shots to 296.The top team was: Kathy Bennett, Gavin Jones as pairs and triple Ed Linnell, John Hardy and Joy Reynolds.
Top pair; Kathy Bennett and Gavin Jones
Top triple: Barry Laker, Barbara Laker and Alan Berriman.
Well done to the whole team for playing the match in a good, friendly atmosphere supporting all. Also to those playing for the first time.
The return match is on Saturday 28th June
