In our match against Narromine we lost the rinks 2-1 but recovered to defeat Dubbo Railway two rinks to one. In the third match Dubbo Railway got up against Narromine 2-1. With each team winning one match and three rinks the deciding factor was the aggregate number of shots and, thanks mainly to the Triples team who won both their matches, our Club won through to the State Final having an aggregate of +20 while Narromine finished on -two and Dubbo on -13. Congratulations to all players involved and good luck in the State Final, which will be played at Warilla on December 8.
