2009.

Good progress has been made by Holwell Men playing in the North Area Final Wills Trophy Competition, against Royston at Baldock on Monday 20th July, Team members were as follows:-
Andy Pearson lead Bob Smith 2 Colin Males 3 N Houghton skip,
Bernie Drummond lead Paul Gilbert 2 John O;Dell 3 Don McKeand skip,
Bob Wright lead Colin Salter 2 Raymond Smith 3 Mick Reidy skip, Umpire for the match was the ever mindful and alert Ted Day.
After a very keen and competitive game two rinks had completed with one rink winning by 5 shots, and the other by 4 shots, but the third rink still had one end to play, at this point the scores were absolutely level,
in a very tense final end,  Holwell gained the one shot necessary to win overall, final score being 61 to 60 shots.
Holwell now progress to the Hertfordshire County Finals at Townsend St Albans on Sunday 2nd August 2009. (Sadly we were beaten in the Semi Final).
