HAMPTON PARK 74 CRANBOURNE RSL 97
Last week was a must win against the bottom team, this week it was first against ninth. It should have been easy for top team Hampton Park. But once again the RSL showed everyone that their best is good enough with an impressive 23-shot win. Mal Watkinson’s team doing most of the damage with a great 25-shot win. Such margins are pretty rare in Division 2. Yvonne van der Wees team did well in winning by nine shots.
