One game of triples was played after the Ladies monthly meeting on Wednesday.
Di Currell, Rita Young, Eunice Smith defeated Neil Currell, Kay Dugdell and Eileen Elliott 12-10.
Three Yarraman teams went to Goomeri on Tuesday for their Clocktown Carnival – two rounds of 21 ends – a lady to skip. No results to hand from Goomeri as yet. Yarraman were involved in a couple of very close games but no winners.
A note here from the Games Director: the John Moore/Ron Lucas trophy day set down for the 15th has been postponed to avoid clashing with the President’s Day at Tansey. There will be a social Day trophy on at Yarraman on the 15th for those not travelling to Tansey.
