BBC BROADCAST SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13th           (Terry Norwood at the desk)

RSL Shield Competition

Saturday saw the third and final round of the RSL Shield event with the playing of the pairs matches. Each of the teams had on pair on the Waratah Green and the other rolling out on the Wilson Green. Going into these matches, Team 3 held a slender three point lead over three other teams locked on 70, so it looked as though the competition would be a dogfight right down to the final ends.

This final round saw Team 1 against Team 4, Team 2 against Team 3, Team 5 against Team 8 and Team 6 against Team 7. And, so to the results:

 

Team 1 Graham Hunt, Greg Lewis  26  Vs  Team 4 Dave Charlesworth, Gail Fraser  26

Team 1 Rikki Wilson, Rowena Coode  10  Vs  Team 4 Grahame Denman, Don Chapman  22

Team 2 Alice Moore, Reta South  11  Vs  Team3 Graham Hartnup, Lynne Boshier  28

Team 2 Ian Duncan, Gordon Lewis  18  Vs  Team 3 Viv Gear, Robin Staples  17

Team 5 Elizabeth Hall, Terry Norwood  19  Vs  Team 8 Tisi Lear, Dave Coltman  18

Team 5 Arnie Lenczuk, Bob Edwards  6  Vs  Team 8 Enid Brown, Ash Lewis 29

Team 6 Mark Barrow, Noel Fraser  25  Vs  Team 7 Charles Coode, Peter Flight 19

Team 6 Richard Denman, Al McGhee  16  Vs  Team 7 Barb Wainberg, Stephen Day  21

 

When the scores were tallied, we had the final totals

Team 1   93   Team 2  87   Team 3  115   Team 4  118   Team 5  98   Team 6  96   Team 7  79   Team 8  117

And so, by a single shot, the victorious team was that of Grahame Denman, Dave Charlesworth, Gail Fraser, Mick Flynn and Don Chapman (sub). Team 8 skipped by Ash Lewis filled second position and only two shots further back was Robin Staples team. What a terrific finish to a great competition, and congratulations to all who competed and kept the RSL Shield as a viable competition.

Dave Charlesworth, Gail Fraser, Grahame Denman and Don Chapman all smiles on Saturday! Unfortunately, skipper Mick Flynn had to cheer them on from his sick bed!
