  • Skip – John Moore
  • Third – Ron Lucas
  • Lead – Margaret Willoughby

Runners-up – losers trophy – also drawn from cards (it’s not often that you get a trophy for losing):

  • Skip – Neil Currell
  • Third – Arthur Smith
  • Lead – Jenny Moore

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.
