Saturday Competition
IN last Saturday's competition 66 players struggled throughout the hot day with most players finding the going tough. Scott Dwyer realised his potential with 44 points, good enough for the win.

Runners-up in the net were Bill Osborne ( A grade with 39), Paul Shepherd (B grade with 36) and John Turner (C grade with 42 points). Balls went out to 35 on a countback with Jim Bradshaw the winner of that last ball.
