Coach Lyn Quigg was very happy with the win against Mulgrave Country Club and was determined to make sure that his rink would set the standard. They did just that, recording a 12-shot win with his team of Garry Hunt, Peter Elgar and Doug Boggie who all played great games.
Skip Jammie Corney found himself nine shots down with only six ends to play so he rallied his team to find another level and they responded well. Joe Byrne, Karen Hickson and Chris Hunt came home strong and ended up winning by three shots on the day.
