Both Ladies and Men’s finals were were well supported by an enthusiastic crowd.

Leif Bussell has contributed with a great little write up on Men’s Second Division competition:

“TEAM:  Marty Head, Col Nairn, Clint Nagtegaal, Leith  Bussell, Tom Wenman, Paul Reuther, John Morris and Smiler Gale.

Division 2 – Grand Final.     M/River Green   V  Augusta Blue.

M/River started well on both rinks.  Marty Head leading beautifully with everyone on that  rink playing their part.  On the other rink Skipper Smiller Gale’s Team was in a bit of trouble, and trailing by about 10 shots.  They managed to pick up the maximum 8 shots to put their rink back in contention.  On Leith Bussell’s Rink,  Marty Head was still leading well,  Col Nairn contributing well and Cling Nagtegaal finishing very strongly .  Giving us a very well deserved Division 2 Grand Final Win to Margaret River.” ~ Leith
