AFTER 15 ends of this 18-end Concorde Ladies League match, Broadway trailed 39-28.
However, aided by 13 shots on the last three ends from Viv Hall, Yvonne Hopkins and Betty Kirk and seven shots from Sue Davies who had earlier scored just one on the first 15 ends, helped Broadway claim victory.
Joan Clarke's triple kept the score even throughout in a match that ended 14-14.
Broadway had another handful of shots added to their total in addition to the half a point as Droitwich were unable to field four triples.
