THE final of the C/S Triples turned out to be an interesting game with T. Wright, D. Warr, P. Collis leading T. Seaniger, D. Miller, D. Christensen for most of the game, and on the 16th end leading 16 -10, but they only scored 1pt in the next five ends and allowed Doug’s team to win by 1pt in a thrilling finish 18 -17. Our congratulations go to Tom, Doug M. and Doug C. (I think Doug Warr might have been subbing for George Niven)
The next and last competition for the year, the C/S Fours has been selected and the following players are called up to play next Saturday, B. Black, C. Johnson, M. O’Leary, J. Rickard v R. Valentine, T. Wright, B. and D. Christensen; A. Naylor, S. Valentine, D. Warr P. Collis v R. Smith, M. Holder, I. Campbell, J. Ruhle.
