A successful afternoon of mostly very close
games. Each pair played matches of eight ends against the
other three. Gary Chadwick + Gabriel Noonan won two
matches as did Alan Camplin-Smith and Tom Allen. Gary and
Gabriel won the trophy on overall shot difference +1
opposed to -4. Alan and Tom lost their first game heavily,
the only one that wasn't close.
