Unfortunately, by late mutual agreement, this fixture had to be played over four rinks and one triple. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyably close game but, sadly, BBA stamina started to flag over the last few ends, with a result for Worthing Pavilion who won three rinks and one triple and a shot difference of +22.
