Scorecard-Logo0001_thumb3_thumb1Congratulations to MCC 1 for taking out the Division 2 Open Tuesday Pennant Championship today, by defeating Vermont South 62 – 50 at Doncaster.

With two ends to go, MCC was 11 up and, after scoring +1 on the penultimate end, did not need to play the last.

Congratulations to all who have been involved with or played in the side during the season. Also, thanks to George Ziller for providing Twitter updates throughout the game.

Ian Smith / Karen Thomson / Suzie Ziller / Don Graham 23 -24
