Over the weekend, despite the rain and that very annoying easterly wind making playing conditions tricky we were able to complete the Club Champs for the Ladies Senior Pairs and the Men’s Intermediate and Senior fours.

Senior Ladies Pairs.
Saturday, in Windy and sometimes drizzly conditions, the final was played between Nita’s and Noeline’s teams. Congratulations to Nita and Carol on winning the Senior Ladies Pairs. Runners up were Noeline and Sandra. Well done to both teams for a good effort in the very trying conditions!

Men’s Senior Fours.
Sunday, after a rain delayed start, saw the final played between the teams of Terry Johnson and Tom Palmer.

Men’s Intermediate Fours.
On the Sunday afternoon the Final was between the teams of Noel Hannah and Bill Prout. A good game with the score even going into the final end saw Bill’s team prevail. Congratulations to Bill, Tex, Don and Tom Price. Runners up were Noel Hannah, John, Lindsay and Harold. Well done to all!

Let's hope they can keep the Northern Flag Flying.
