What a big day it was in Nanango last Sunday! Two full greens; 28 teams fronted to play in the Sharron and Glen Yeates-sponsored Rotational Triples.
It was played over two games of 18 ends. Players rotated after every six ends. What fun.
Scoring was wins plus ends. The winning team contained one of the sponsors and the Games Director had fun sorting out the placegetters.
