Once again our numbers were down for the RSL fours championships with only five teams nominating and not one team from the Port Macquarie area, as we are obligated to play regardless of numbers by the RSL we continue to support these championships.
In the RSL fours championships semi finals F Stephens, R Bailie-Mace, S Wilson and G Webster defeated B Sevenoaks, G Dowd, T Ryan and A Dean in a game that could have gone either way, while in the other semi final G Morris, T Head, S Anderson and S Pell defeated B Thielemann, D Hannah, O Henderson and B Kirby in another closely contested game. The final between S Pell’s team and G Webster’s was another of those games which was very competitive. The winners were to G Morris, T Head, S Anderson and S Pell over F Stephens, R Bailie-Mace, S Wilson and G Webster, congratulations to Steve and his team who now go and play in the State playoffs against a Sydney based team at Raymond Terrace on June 5, we wish you all the best.
