The first quarter final was a very close match, David Wooden beating Christine Cooper by 43
just one shot. Barry Layton continued his good form winning 7-3 over John Cooper. A
Woodbastwick Derby between Ted Sims and Tony Wright finished 8-5 to Ted, and Tricia
Wooden showed superb form beating her Hemsby club mate Alan Marker 12-4.
Tricia continued her winning ways in the semi-finals, with a win of 9-7 over Barry, and Ted
Sims demonstrated his drawing ability to win the other semi-final against David Wooden.
So, on to the final! Hemsby’s strong home contingent was loyally and vocally supporting
Tricia, while Woodbastwick’s fans were cheering their representative Ted. The repositioning of
the mats from straight to slanting always has some influence on the last stages of the contest,
and though Tricia bowled very well and had many chances on some of the ends, it was Ted’s
accurate drawing that gave him the victory 11-1.
Chairman Mike Harvey presented the trophies, and thanked all who participated, helped
or supported. He thanked John Sargent for drawing up all the paperwork. His smooth running
of the contest was acknowledged.
