• Side 1 – Division 2 Sec 5
After last week’s one-shot loss disappointment head coach Lyn Quigg invited team mate Peter Elgar to address the players before the game.
The address started off with something about the number ‘4’. The motivation was so inspiring that no one could keep up with Peter’s high intellect so the players just went on anyway and won the game by a massive 56 shots which was incredible.
Peter now has a regular gig!
All four rinks won which gave Cranbourne maximum points.
Skip Jammie Corney and his crew of Joe Byrne, John Stanley and Matt Stevens were in great form again and won by 20 shots while skips Lyn Quigg won by 14 shots, Doug Boggie by seven shots and Jay Tootell won by 15 shots.
It was a long drive home for the Monbulk players.
