Skippers at Night Owls need exceptional skills to manage and lead their team.
First, the range of abilities in their team may range from highly experienced to absolute beginner.
Second, some team members may regularly disappear during play, to obtain refreshments.
Third, with some team members, a rush of blood is common and the use of the 'drive', normally reserved for the third or skip, is often deployed by an excitable lead or second.
The photos show a range of skills used by the skippers to manage this unpredictable situation.
