In icy conditions, all three grades were taken out with doubles with some impressive scoring.
Anthony Riach was too good in A grade, continuing with his strong form from the past three months.
Riach shot 77 off the stick to take out the scratch.
This gave him 70 nett which won the A grade handicap by a shot.
B grade saw Peter Bristol victorious.
Bristol shot 86 off the stick, giving him a nett 73, which was good enough to claim the double.
John O’Shannessy proved far too good in C grade, running out an easy winner.
In an uncommon feat, O’Shannessy’s scratch score was better than the B grade scratch winner’s score.
O’Shannessy shot 85 off the stick, one better than Bristol’s 86, to record a 63 nett – easily the best nett score of the day.
