Selection Committee for the First Two
Fours - GXBC A - was:
The squad for the first Two Fours was Drew and Dave, and (in alphabetical order) Neil Farnish, Michael Gomme, Nathan Harvey, Matt Hyde, John and Tom McGuinness, Alan Price, George and Richard Reid, and Kirk Smith.
Match Reports:
At Royal Leamington for the National finals
The quarter final was against Holt in Wiltshire, and we won it comfortably - Holt threw in the towel after 13 ends: the score sheet shows 42 - 14.
The semi-final against Weybridge turned out to be the toughest game in the competition. Alan Price's four were 20 points down at one stage, but fought back to finish 6 down. John's four led by 14 most of the way, and in the end we won by 10 points: 46 - 36.Rink scores (Gerrards Cross skips first): J McGuinness bt C Souter 24-8; A Price lost to M White 22-28;
The final was against Buntingford in Hertfordshire, and neither rink ever looked as if it might lose. Final score 44-20. Rink scores (Gerrards Cross skips first): J McGuinness bt M Plume 23-12; A Price bt G Warrender 21-8
Overall a very convincing win in a National competition.
