Eighteen participants played two games of triples each.
There were two Zinc pennant teams skippered by Trevor Barry and Peter Gageler plus Peter Simons’ triple that figured in the spin for the major prize of the day.
A reasonably low number saw Barry’s side, which featured Brian Fenton, Craig Francis and Cheryl Barry, being the successful team.
The consolation wheel spin saw Allan Fraser, Kristian Sartori and skip Bob Sultana gain some compensation.
Glen Weekes was in very good form with two resting touchers, while Allan Fraser attained one. The resting touchers’ prize was won by Glyn Harrington.
