MCC Wins Division 2 Tuesday Pennant

Categories:

by Paul Daniel

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.

The side was never headed, and whenever Vermont South narrowed the margin, MCC was able to pull away.

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.

Rink Results

Ian Smith / Karen Thomson / Suzie Ziller / Don Graham 23 -24
John Smith / Gerry Teague / Graham Winther / Geoff Rose 14 – 11
Greg Thomson / Ian Philpot / Rae Graham / Graham Thompson 25 – 15
