Runners-up trophies went to a countback.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the usual placegetters&#8217; prize money, monetary prizes were given to individual game winners.<\/p>\n<p>This new idea was well-received by all players.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Winners: Kingaroy\/Bundaberg (Betty Cullen, Danny Holligan, Errol Dionysius, Noel Cullen) &#8211; 3 wins<\/li>\n<li>Runners Up: North Dalby (Wendy Usher, Sally Kelly, Gordon Usher, Tom Kelly) &#8211; 2 wins plus an end on countback.<\/li>\n<li>Third: Kingaroy\/Gayndah (Lester Newman, Aymee Bellert, Warwick Bellert, Mark Williams) &#8211; 2 wins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>On Thursday, club triples was played with randomly selected teams, and the winners were determined by the highest winning score.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Winners: Col McBride, Lyle Dascombe and Bruce Johnston &#8211; High Score 25<\/li>\n<li>Runners Up: Steve Carland, Felipe Munoz and Ray Crawford &#8211; High Score 24<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Col McBride, Lyle Dascombe and Bruce Johnston def.
