Mixed Fours Championship

The first semi-final between Murray Hulbert, Peter Flack, Pauline Bourne and Wendy Flack and Brian Saul, Nerrida and Ross Porteous, and Jan Power-Tuke saw the Hulbert team gain control to win 16-7. The second semi between Bruce Eagles, Greg Taylor, Kerry Hutchinson, and Coral Smith and Paul Knight, Tracey Newman, Shelley and Bob Jeffs, was closely contested and tied at 14-all after 16 ends.

On the 17th end, team Knight picked up two shots and were looking comfortable winners on the 18th end. However, with his last bowl Bruce drove and converted it 16-16 and forcing an extra end. With his final bowl Paul picked up the jack getting one shot and their place in the final.

In the final between the Hulbert and Knight teams after the first eight ends the game was shaping up as a close affair. A five by Hulbert’s team on the ninth put them 13-4 up and it seemed they were taking control of the game. However, the next seven ends had team Knight scoring five singles and a two, along with a drawn end between three bowls where the umpire couldn’t determine a winner! The fightback to be down only 13-11 was largely due to the outstanding driving and cold draws of skip Paul Knight. Team Hulbert then settled, picking up two singles on the final two ends to win the game 15-11.
