First ever competitive League Game

On Thursday 20th October 2022, in the evening, we played our first ever competitive league game, at home to Marshfield, nearly 4 years to the day that the club started. It ended with the scores Calne  45 (5pts) – Marshfield 28 (4pts). It was a very enjoyable evening, not only for the teams but also for the members playing on the 3rd rink.  Needless to say the floor was up to its normal tricks and prove d challenging for both teams. We look forward to the return match on the Friday 28th October at 19-15.
