In this final we had Robert Austin, Mike Hudson, Errol Ruprecht and John Beach (Taree Leagues) up against Col Campbell, Darryl Fitzgerald, Grant McKirdy and George McCartney (Sporties).
This was a closely fought game with the scores tied at 4-4 after 6 ends, and at 9-9 after 12 ends. Leagues then scored a couple of 1’s to lead 11-9. Sporties then wiped out that deficit with a 3 to lead 12-11, and they continued right on scoring a 1,2 and 2 to open up a commanding 17-11 lead with just 3 ends to play. Leagues did bounce back with a 2, but a 2 and 1 on the last 2 ends wrapped it up for Sporties with a 20-13 win.
