Cliff's team were the last to finish, and were five down in the head whenCliff, with the last bowl of the match, drew second shot to give Bedford victory by one shot. (It would have been truly heart-stirring if he had drawn third shot, and we all had to troup out to play another extra end).
Can't recall the Grand Final Scores, other than:
Safety Bay defeated Bedford by 12 shots
Gartrell defeated Trewella (for the third time in nine days)
Richardson lost to Holmes
Graybrook lost to Carberry
Burke defeated Ball .......Return to Main page
