with the raffle, Tombola etc.
There were four groups of five teams playing
eight timed ends, nine for the final. The scoring
was 2 points for a win and 1 point per end won,
so winning ends was quite important.

were Runners Up having beaten Hatfield
Peverel and Ramsden Belhouse B. Stonyhill B

on shot difference but having beaten Hatfield

Common B. Friends of Essex came third by just before battle commenced
beating Outwood Common B and east Tilbury B.
