A stunning early Summers day greeted our 20 teams with a gentle zepher and a clear blue sky the order for most of the day.

As a club we are always most appreciative of the loyal and generous support of our local businesses and today was no exception with HICKEY'S PHARMACY our sponsor of the day. Thank you Ken and your team for the outstanding service you provide to our community, you are always greeted with a smile and a genuine offer of assistance at HICKEY'S.

A slight variation (4 games/8 ends/3 bowls) to our normal format (4 games/12 ends/2 bowls) seemed to be reflected in the results with notably fewer four and three winners.

1st place: Mike Paton, Noel Rooney, Darrell Purdie 4w, 21e, 49p

2nd place: David LeCheminant, Kevin Sadgrove, Kay Benzie 4w, 16e, 39p

3rd place: Gary Wallace, Kerry Greenhalgh, Dave Roe 3.5w, 20e, 31p

4th place: Tom Gowie, Ross Ruddell, Mike Burke 3w, 21e, 45p
