Moama also scored a five, a two and a three, which gave the Steamers the win by 10 shots, 17-27.

Craig Taylor’s team of Allan Hodges, Jo Chick and Miro Peterman were still looking good at the 10th end being eight shots up, 14-6.

Moama changed gears and, over the next five ends, RSL could only manage one shot to the Steamers’ 11.

The Diggers simply could not do a thing, and only added one more shot to bring their tally to 16.

Moama charged home, adding 12 more shots to bring the rink score to 16-29.

Mason Glenn led for John Wilson, Garry Hulm and Niels Hilton, and they won their rink by 10 shots.

After the fifth end the score was 3-7, and that was the last time Moama was in front.

At the 10th end the card showed 12-7 and morale was high.

The Diggers only allowed Moama one shot in the next five ends, while piling on 11 of their own.

Moama grabbed a six on the 17th and two twos in the final run home to total 18, but the Diggers never looked like losing this rink and added five to bring their score to 28.
