Cheam won both games, but struggled in the Mixed match at Wallington, a game that was interrupted a couple of times by thunder, lightning and heavy rain. Wallington won on three of the five rinks, Cheam drawing on one and winning the other.
Cheam's first competitive games are in the National Two-Fours. In both matches, the opposition - Shirley Park and Chipstead respectively - will provide stiff tests for the Peaches Close club.
