Some players were very rusty and the main criticism was the lack of commitment which will need to improve.
Some bowlers missed many weeks of bowling and with pennants starting in a couple of weeks, they will have an opportunity to get back to their best.
- Ashley Lewis, Nathan Boyers, Kevin Stafford and Mick Spong defeated Arnold Lenczuk, Ian Crow, Rita South and Bob Edwards 18-13 .
This match was a tight affair with scores locked at 7-7 after nine ends and it was only towards the finish that team Spong pulled away for a five shot win.
- Graham Hunt, Lynn Boshier, Peter Watson and Gordon Lewis defeated Ian Duncan, Peter Flight, Owen Williams and Robin staples 27-9.
This was a surprising result as the first six ends had both teams on level terms 5-5.
The game then took a massive change which saw team Lewis take the score to 20-5 after 15 ends.
At the finish, team Lewis had an 18 shot win.
- David Coltman, Alistair McGhee, Stephen Della and Dugald Braithwaite defeated Terry Butt, Greg Lewis, Mick Anderson and Mick Armstrong 24-13.
This was a match that team Braithwaite was always in control of and looked in no danger of defeat.
The losing skipper Mick Armstrong stated that his side was a bit out of touch and expected big improvement in the next trial match.
