CLASH OF CORNISH CLUBS

Tony Dyson won decisively to Stephen Read, 14 : 9 (Peg Out), and Peter Cutting won to Rosemary Bradshaw (Fowey Captain) 8 : 5.

After lunch Colin Hadley lost to Margaret Read 8 : 10, Des Honey won to Barry Edwards 12 : 7, Peter Cutting lost to Stephen Read 14 : 6 (Peg out), and Tony Dyson won to Rosemary Bradshaw 12 : 11.

The march was refereed by Tony Backhouse, Cornwall Chairman and Handicapper, who awarded a handicap change of 2 steps to Tony Dyson after the match.
