There was delight for one Huntingdonshire Women’s team and defeat for another in their first fixtures of the new county season.
The local ladies claimed an emphatic 144-88 victory at Northants in their opening Silver Jubilee Vase outing when completing a clean sweep of victories on all five rinks. The successful skips were Carole Hickey, Linda Levi, Mandy Woodrow, Nicky Hastings and Lynne King.
But it was a different story in the Donald Steward Trophy as they were beaten 105-87 by the same county despite wins for the rinks of Nicky Verlander and Andrea Rose.
Hunts are back in action when hosting Norfolk in both competitions next Wednesday (June 13).
