The other 2 rinks decided who was second and who were the champions.

In second place were

Carol Lyons, Ian Quinn, Catherine Hackett & skip John Jowett.

The champions were

Billy Tomkins, Carmel Groarke, Tom Byrne &  skipTess Wyeth.

It was great to see some new players on the podium.

After the match Albert supplied the refreshments for the players doing his usual excellent job.

Below are some photos of the day.
