REVIEW OF ROUND 6--ONE BLUE NORTH

December 4, 2006
Review One Blue North Round 6


North Beach 82 (6½) d Wanneroo 77 (1½)

An excellent effort by North Beach away and once again John Coles’ rink was the difference. Echo Widermanski led the only winning Wanneroo rink and they now find themselves second last.

Max Kitto (pictured) has been a great player in years past, and is one of the most popular players to have played the game.

Bassendean 93 (6) d Morley 88 (2)

Morley took Bassendean down to the wire and got to within 5 shots of the agg, if not for the brilliant team effort of Justin opie's rink of Steve Black Dean Robertson + Craig Greenhalgh winning 38 to 8 against Tom Lindsays rink,  with a + 30 shots win carried the day as Marcel Heurer’s winning run finally came to an end going down to a former Bassendean player and skipper, Jim Savage.


Justin Opie ( pictured) Has been a great recruit for Bassendean and leading by example


Morley’s A Haley had his sixth straight win by a 21 shot margin against the normally hard to beat John Lynch, to be the leading skipper in 1 Blue North but even his great effort fell just short for Morley.

Add to that, Bassendean's first 3 divisions out of 4 divisions are undefeated and on top of their divisions which is  an effort at this stage would be close to a record if not a record. The club is on top of the world as they say

Cambridge 88 (6½) d Doubleview 85 (1½)

Keith Cannon recorded a 17 shot victory to give Bomber Harring and his rink their fourth successive loss.
Stan Curtis again was the best for Doubleview, however the three shot aggregate loss virtually ends their promotion chances and now they join Cambridge and others in a fight for survival or a meaningless finals play off.

Sorrento 88 (7) d Osborne Park 64 (1)

A 17 shot win by Neil Brown and the still undefeated Neil Adams, winning against the previously undefeated Doug Eaton, ensured a comfortable victory for Sorrento, leaving them only two points off the lead.
Osborne Park meanwhile join the mob of seven teams who are long odds to finish in top position.

Innaloo 91 (6) d Bedford 82 (2)

Innaloo playing away and their leading skipper Greg Young called it a day yet they still won. Keith Hough had Dean Pasalich playing as his third. The evergreen Bill Swarbrick romped home to give Innaloo their first win. Bedford has only one mission remaining this season and that is to avoid relegation.
