Saturday, January 11 at Bowral Bowling Club, Kel Limbrick, Barry Werfel and John Cummins defeated Keith Edwards, Paul Rubie and Brian Payne 24-19 in the match of the day.
What a extraordinary match after eleven ends team Payne had a comfortable 11-4 lead and after 15 ends cruising to victory having a 18-4 lead.
What happened next was unbelievable skipper Cummins rallied his troops by saying we can do better than this and his team certainly took up the challenge.
Just look at the last six ends played.
On the 16th end team Cummins scored two shots then on the 17th end the unthinkable they score eight shots on the 18th end score one shot then to cap it all on the 19th end they score three shots to have the match all tied up at 18-18.
Team Payne on the 20th broke the sequence by scoring one shot to lead 19-18 with one end to play.
What happened next, skipper Cummins blew the bugle again to his troops and did they respond scoring six shots on the last end to come away with a five shot win.
Skipper Payne and his troops completely shell shocked how victory got away from them .
At least both teams returned to the club house to have a well earned drink and discuss one of the most come back victories in recent years.
