Currently top of the Munro cup competition Brian Rogers’ team travelled to Cowbridge to play on their synthetic all weather green, on which they are unbeaten in this league.

In a fantastic match Windsor’s men came within one shot of causing an upset and a famous victory. With the final wood bowled, and all the players surrounding the rink a somewhat dubious choice of shot failed to draw a second shot and Windsor’s men were left to rue what might have been.
