Clubs represented were Racecourse, Murray Downs, Tooleybuc, Moe, Kerang and Lake Boga while the Thompsett family, a team of new bowlers, were also made welcome.

The winners were Frank Jacka from Swan Hill, D.J. Weaver from Racecourse and Danny Mitchell from Moe, with runners-up Graeme Clark from Swan Hill, Bill King from Swan Hill and Ernie Russell from Racecourse.

Third went to Neil Brown Dawn Holland and Cath Parry who were all from Murray Downs, the lucky cards – lead Noel Delmenico, second Kerang player, and skip Alex Smith.

A delicious supper was served at the finish of play with a big thank-you to all who attended.
