and runner up were decided on
points scored and shots difference.
The competition was close with 14 of the 28 games being decided on less than 5 shots.
After completion of the first group, Mark Village had a perfect record with 4 wins. The only
team who could stop them winning was Wellsway who had won their first 3 games with a su-
perior shot difference.
Their final game was against Winterbourne, after 2 ends the score was 1 shot each,
however on the 3rd end and Winterbourne holding 1 shot, their skip, which had the last bowl,
attempted to daw for a second only to give the shot to Wellsway. The next 4 ends were closely
contested with Winter-
bourne winning 3 of them
for an overall victory 5
shots to 3. Thus, Well-
sway finished runners up
and Mark Village were de-
clared the winners.
