Summer Open League Final Results
Hi All,
Well the competition has finished, that was quick! But it got us out of our own club and back to some sort of normality.
The last results were another lesson for Moonfleet who did not really make a fist of it away to Dolphin going down 33-8 on my rink and 26-9 on the other which was a pretty damning 42 shot defeat and a well earned 6-0 for the Dolphin skips of Les Manning and S Jephcote.
It was a much closer result as Bournemouth visited Bridport Bees for the last time with Bournemouth coming out winners with an overall victory of 23-36. The first rink was a slight victory for Bridport with Phil Hedges edging out Ian Davies 15-13 whilst on the other rink M Fletcher went down to T Medhurst 8-24. This gave Bournemouth a 2-4 win.
The final table is below:
Rank | League Position | Plyd | Won | Drawn | Lost | For | Agin | Diff | Points |
1 | Dolphin | 6 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 226 | 141 | 85 | 26 |
2 | Bridport Bees | 6 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 196 | 181 | 15 | 22 |
3 | Bournemouth | 6 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 190 | 158 | 32 | 18 |
4 | Moonfleet | 6 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 130 | 262 | -132 | 6 |
Thanks to all the teams who participated, I hope you enjoyed the change and we will come back next year multi-jabbed and stronger.

Summer Open League Week 5 Results
Dear All,
This competition has one more game to play and it couldn’t be closer at the top.
This week Moonfleet took on the mighty Bees from Bridport and were beaten but not by as many as the previous match.
Marty Groves and his team scored a creditable 13 against the trio from Bridport led by P Hallet who scored 21. On the other rink Mary Richards as skip was a little closer against Phil Hedges and his hive losing 14-19. This gave an overall win to Bridport of 27-40 and 0-6.
Bournemouth visited Dolphin and this was close, on the first rink L Manning took on T Medhurst and came away with a win 16-12. However, on the other rink it was even closer and this time Bournemouth were victorious but only by 2 shots. Dolphin losing 15-17. This gave an overall total of 31-29 and 4 points to 2.
The current table is below and the next matches have Moonfleet visiting Dolphin and Bournemouth visiting Bridport. Where is the trophy going to go…….
We won’t know until Friday…..
Rank | League Position | Plyd | Won | Drawn | Lost | For | Agin | Diff | Points |
1 | Dolphin | 5 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 167 | 124 | 43 | 20 |
2 | Bridport Bees | 5 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 173 | 145 | 28 | 20 |
3 | Bournemouth | 5 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 154 | 135 | 19 | 14 |
4 | Moonfleet | 5 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 113 | 203 | -90 | 6 |

Summer Open League Week 4 Results
Moonfleet travelled to Bournemouth for their 4th match and received a bit of a trouncing, no, a lot of a trouncing, Mal Smith’s trio were soundly beaten by skip Tim Medhurst 27-7, it looked quite close until end 6 then Moonfleet only picked up 3 more points. On the other rink it was just as far apart with Mary Wall being beaten by Ian Davies and company 24-4. Quite a win 51-11 and Bournemouth taking all 6 points.
At Dolphin the visitors were Bridport Bees and this was a much closer affair with Dolphin winning on one rink 22-10 and Bridport the other 12-15 giving an overall win to Dolphin 34-25 and 4 points to 2.
The table looks quite close now with 2 matches to go and a possible 6 points at stake for each match then I would say anyone could win it except Moonfleet.
Remaining fixtures are
24/8/21 | 11.00 | Moonfleet v Bridport Bees |
25/8/21 | 10.00 | Dolphin v Bournemouth |
1/9/21 | 10.00 | Dolphin v Moonfleet |
3/9/21 | 12.00 | Bridport Bees v Bournemouth |

Summer Open League Week 3 Results
Hi All,
Early results this week and something different.
Bournemouth won their first match this week with a good win against the high flying (see what I did there) Bridport Bees.
T Medhurst’s trio were victorious against the Briport team skipped by John Burwood 19-9 and a similar result of 19-8 from I Davies against I Parker.
This gave all 6 points to Bournemouth and a creditable 38-17 overall.
Dolphin travelled to Moonfleet who have played their third different team of the season and had a convincing win with L Manning beating the home trio of Gill Gwilliam 5-27. Whilst on the other rink Moonfleet fared a little better with Mike Legge losing to V Miller 11-12. Close!
Nevertheless a win for Dolphin by 6-39 and taking all 6 points.
