The PACE A and PACE B have both completed their home and away fixtures against The Brimsdown Gotchas.

PACE A fielded a strong starting line up, with three athletes, Alex, Reshad and Jagjit, on the England Talent Pathway. Both matches were incredibly close, with the first one finishing 6-5 to PACE. The athletes were happy with this result, however they were hoping for more points to put themselves in a good position in the league.

The Brimsdown Gotchas fielded a slightly different team for their second game. The changes made a difference as they took five out of six ends. PACE A demonstrated effective defensive play to only loose these ends 1-0, however the athletes were incredibly disappointed as missed opportunities resulted in the final score line reading 5-3 to the Brimsdown Gotchas. Credit to their team, their performance improved and they deserved the win.
