Goring Manor's week started off rather badly with a heavy home defeat in a friendly against Henfield. There were no redeeming features about that match for Goring upon which to report.

The next match was a Stracey Shield league match at home to Lancing. Winning on three rinks and taking the 2 extra points on offer for having a superior aggregate score, Goring ran out 8 points to winners.

Top rink went to Jim Short, Derek King, Mick Mayes and skip Bill Porter closely followed by Yvonne Woodcock, Rick Poland, Graham Nicholson and skip Dave Crockett. Skip Tommy Tsoi also won.
