Hi all,

The draw has been completed for the Mixed Triples tournament and will be displayed on the club notice boards from Monday afternoon. There is a smaller entry than previous years so there will be fewer games and the tournament should end earlier. I am sure all the competitors would appreciate support from other members not taking part in the event.

MIXED TRIPLES 2024

The Mixed Triples tournament will be held on Friday 16th August, starting at 1.30pm.

It will be a 2 bowl triples competition played over a round robin league guaranteeing all players 2 games of 6 ends. The winning triple from each section will then play a semi-final of 6 ends, followed by a final of 7 ends.

Triples have been drawn but it is personal choice what position each member plays and they may change for other matches.

There may be a takeaway tea organised for anyone who wishes to stay after the final.
