FIRST HALF OF SEASON ROUNDUP.... KMS BC have reached the halfway stage in the Ryedale Veterans League. We started the season a bit indifferently with a 8 - 2 win at Pickering, followed by an 8 - 2 loss at Malton. The Malton green probably the heaviest green we will encounter during season although not an excuse, it didn't help. The following 4 games resulted in 10 - 0, 6 - 4, 8 - 2, & 8 - 2 victories. Our final league game of the first half of the season was at Easingwold. On a challenging green, the match result was in the balance right up to the final end. Unfortunately, it went the way of Easingwold 6 - 4. Despite the loss, Kirkbymoorside sit on top of the division 1 table at the halfway stage by 2points from Easingwold who have a game in hand.
In the Ossie Ashcroft Cup, KMS BC beat Malton and play Hovingham & Harome in the Qtr Final.
