We pick up the action in the semi-finals with Defending
Champion Matt (Reepham Robins) vs Phyllis (Kenninghall) the
other draw was Sue (Reepham Robins) vs Ray (Aubugh).
The early ends between Matt and Phyllis were exchanged
with the score 1-2 after 3 ends played with the Champion behind
but managing to pick up a 2 fol-
lowed by 2 scores of 3 the game
was over with Phyllis conceding
the game. The other game be-
tween Sue and Ray was a very
close affair but with Ray always being in control managed to
hold on and see out the victory.
The final was between Matt and Ray. On the First end:
Matt starting off the better holding 2 until his last wood was too
heavy cutting it back to 1. 2nd end: was pretty much a repeat
of the 1st and again Matt manages to be holding 3 this time but
Ray does a good running shot to cut it down to 1 2-0
3rd End: little bit better from Ray making some good draws
but again it is Matt that wins the battle and manages to steal
another 1. 3-0 4th End: Matt starts off well and is holding Ray
pushes it back but Matt does 2 good draws to make it a count
