Batchwood Hall hosted a ladies gala last week.

It was the first time this event has been held since the fire in 2011. The winning team were Julie Woolidge, Judy West and Sheila Embleton from Radlett and the runners-up were Hemel Hempstead's Norma Brown, Val Nash and Brenda Bennett.

Batchwood's men were beaten 74-65 away to Herts. The team made a relatively good start but eventually lost on three of the four rinks.

The winning rink was Terry Chandler, Jim Gibb, David Waters and John Harvey (25-15).
