MOONFLEET A 38
MOONFLEET B 33
MOONFLEET A took a closely fought encounter against Moonfleet B after they came head to head in the second round of the Mason Trophy.
On one rink the Moonfleet A team of Gill Lock, Helen Monelle, Margaret Crawford and skip Anne Chislett took early control against the B team of Chris Rod, Di Edwards, Jill Gwilliam and skip Chris Thompson and by end 10 they were 15 - 3 ahead.
The second half of the game saw the A quartet continue to dominate.
Although the Thompson foursome moved up a gear over the final five ends, it was not enough to stop the Chislett rink finishing with a 19 - 10 victory.
On the other rink Moonfleet A with Margaret Hooper, Mairi Mathie, Linda Bryson and skip Kath Desmond had a close tussle against Monique Gandy, Madge Churches, Jennie Brown and skip Trixie Dempsey.
After seven ends the B team were only one shot behind at 7 - 8, but by end 13 they had edged ahead 13 - 12.
This game of cat and mouse continued for the remainder of the match until a three shot haul on the very last end saw the Dempsey quartet steal the game 18 - 14.
There could only be one winner though and with a difference of five shots the Moonfleet A ladies earned their place against Yeovil in the next round after Christmas.
