2024/2025 Champions: Eddie Eaton and Les Mikowiec

March 25 - The final was played on a warm and humid day with everyone looking forward to a good game. Eddie Eaton and Les Mikowiec won the first two ends but were down 3-7 by end 6 to Len Paterson and Barry Whinfield. Eddie and Les then had great run winning 9 of the next 11 ends to take the lead 19-13 on end 18, but a final fight back by Len and Barry saw them win the last three ends but ultimately falling one shot short with Eddie and Les holding on for a 19-18 win. Great game with plenty of action. March 11 - With the alignment round completed it was onto the first round and what a loverly day it was to play. Barry Winfield and Len Paterson started well but dropped a 4 on end 7 to let Joe McKenna and Ivor Thomas back into the game and from there it pretty much score for score with Joe and Ivor up 1 shot on end 17 but 3 shots on the last end saw Barry and Len take the win 14-12. The team of Eddie Eaton and Les Mikowiec had a lead of 5-1 on end 4 but a comeback by Brian Binney and Charlie Dodson to be 5-5 on end 7. However, from that point on it was a 9 to 1 end for Eddie and Les who took the game 18-6 on end 17. A quick start by Alan Arter and Linsey Marsh were leading 6-0 on end 2. But Bill Kell and Colin Tremlett were just getting a late start winning the next 5 ends to lead 9-6 on end 7. But you cannot keep the old and bolds down for long and a 16 shot to 6 shot run saw them take the game 22-15. March 4 - Today was the Alignment round of the Men's Pairs for 2024/2025 with only two games scheduled to be played. Unfortunately, due to health issues, Mitch Brown was forced to withdraw from the competition. Which means Mitch and his partner Ivor Thomas forfeited their game to Barry Winfield and Len Paterson. The other game was between Eddie Eaton and Les Mikowiec (past champions) vs Chris Beaney and Ian Edgar. From the start it was dominated by Eddie and Les with the score 21-4 at 14 ends. Over the next couple of ends Chris and Ian managed to score 3 points but it was not enough to stave off defeat with the final score 21-7.
