Tuesday 28th July. NFWBA League A - Ladies Team Away versus Fordingbridge. A good win, in this close match keeps the Ladies in 2nd spot. Good wins in their last 2 matches should see the Ladies in the Top 3, if not League Champions. However, winning the League will require New Milton Foxes to slip up and Ringwood Ladies to be on their best form. Rinks 1 - 1. Shots 27 - 31. Points 2 - 4.
Tuesday 28thJuly. NFBA Division 1 - Men's 1st Team Away versus Fordingbridge. The 1st Team got off to a good start but Fordingbridge soon hit back and took the lead, after 6 Ends. Fordingbridge then accelerated away so that an overall win for Ringwood was out of the question. Knowing that 3 Points would virtually guarantee the Title and 2 Points would mean relying on other results, the final points tally for Ringwood was on a knife-edge. Ringwood then rallied and fought back well in the last 3 Ends to take 2 Points from the game to eventually Crown them as League Champions. Rinks 2 - 2. Shots 63 - 52. Points 6 -2.
Thursday 30th July. B&DWBA Triples 1 - Ladies Team No Match.
Thursday 30th July. NFBA Division 3 - Men's A Team at Home versus Highcliffe A.
