FOUR WOOD PAIRS

Immediately following the Singles the Pairs was con-
tested. In the Quarter Finals Joe Dixon (Withiel) &
Keith Matthews (Blisland) received a bye as their
drawn opponents were unable to take their place in
the line-up.
Derek Elliott & Mark Eddy (Holmans) started strongly
against Des Pengelly & Alan Holden (Landrake) with
3 on the first end before a succession of 1's either way
and a tied end left the score tied after the 9 scheduled
ends.
Des and Alan took one on the extra end to win
the game. Defending champions Patsy Wakeley &
Chris Roberts (Ladock) led 4-3 after 5 ends against
Margaret Jenkin & Nigel Nicholls (Newlyn Trinity) be-
fore successive scores of 3 and 6 for Margaret and

Margaret Jenkin Nigel Nicholls with an end to spare. Margaret & John Menhenick
(Wadebridge) were never headed in defeating Diane
& Martin Williams (Penlee) 11-5.
In the Semi-finals Des and Alan won more ends against Joe & Keith but two scores for 4
for Joe and Keith proved decisive as they won 11-7. Margaret & Nigel established an 11-5 lead
against Margaret & John before a late comeback saw the Wadebridge pairing reduce the final
deficit to 11-9. In the Final Joe & Keith established a 4-1 lead against Margaret & Nigel early on
