Great results for both teams on Saturday. An expected hard-fought game in the A3’s with a close win on all rinks for the home team.
Top team Wangaratta is there for a reason and they continue to take it up to everyone they play. Except; not this time. Lead changes occurred continuously throughout the day however persistence, a will to win and a never give up attitude saw ClubMulwala prevail.
The B2’s started a bit slow however soon gained ascendency and were never headed.
Great overall win with a special mention to Cliffy Morton and his team including Joan Connor, Margaret Pretty and Anita Albert for exceptional bowling.
