3rd Match . Our team continued it's 100% winning start to the season with a hard fought 12 - 8 victory away at Keighley yesterday. After the usual quite stressful journey there we started slowly and trailed 37 Imps to 32 Imps after the first 8 board stanza. Boards 9 - 16 saw us score 21 Imps to Keighley's 15 Imps meaning we led by just 1 IMP at the half time interval. Stanza 3 boards 17 - 24 was quite eventful seeing individual scores of 1700 and 1400 being registered - one for each team - and at the end of that Keighley shaded it by 28 Imps to 27 Imps to make the match all square at 80 all going into the final stanza. Boards 25 - 32 saw the majority of the points in the hands of East/West with virtually all the contracts being played that way and, thanks to good play by EW and great defence by NS, we won that stanza by 26 Imps to 11 Imps to run out winners by 106 to 91. Despite our 3 consecutive victories we only currently sit 3rd in division 4 as league positions are based on average points gained per game and some teams have only played 1 game so far. Our next game is on Sunday 20 November at home to Wensleydale who are currently top of the division and also unbeaten. |

Well played everyone with wins in all three Yorkshire League matches of the season so far. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations to our team on another fine victory today in a closely contested match at Wetherby. After taking an early lead in the first stanza Team Barnsley found themselves trailing at the half time break. However strong performances in the third and fourth stanza's saw Team Barnsley prevail at the end and maintain their unbeaten start to this season. 12-8 victory. Well done everyone 👏
