On a beautiful Saturday afternoon 6th November, the Final of the Bob Macintosh Minor Pairs kicked off. The teams were Helen Quinlan and David Jeffery versus Sharon Houston and Chuck Fung.
Sharon and Chuck immediately seized control of the game by winning the first three Ends with a score of 5 to Nil. This prompted Helen and David into action, winning the next two Ends with a score of 4 to 5. By the eighth End Sharon and Chuck widened the score to lead 10 to 5. This hardened Helen and David’s resolve, inspiring them to even the score at 12 shots each by the thirteenth End.
The second half of the game saw Sharon and Chuck fighting hard winning four Ends with multiple shots of 3s and 2s. Although Helen and David fought on valiantly, they struggled to maintain their form, enabling Sharon and Chuck to win 23 to 15.
Congratulations to winners Sharon and Chuck, and runners-up Helen and David. Thanks to Don Couch for umpiring.
