National Mixed Fours Report

Yesterday 2 teams from Christow joined 6 other teams from various Devon clubs. Each team played 3 matches back to back with the top 4 going through to the quarter finals. Jeanette, Georgie, Trevor and Steve enjoyed some close battles but failed to qualify to the later stages. Maureen, Beryl, Geoff and Brad won 2 of their 3 matches which saw them into the quarter finals. After winning their quarter finals match they met Totnes Creameries (Rose Morrisson) in the semi finals. Totnes took an early lead, Christow kept playing their game and slowly bought the score back to 4 shots a piece. By this stage the momentum was with Christow and they won the match with a healthy shot difference. The final saw them meet Sidbury (Carol Osborne, Kim Wright, Malcolm Sheen and Eric Pavey) who the had already met in the first round which they lost by 1 shot. The final was a different game altogether and saw Sidbury win the match 11 shots to 0. Well done to Brad and his team for a great result. Your club are very proud of you all. Unfortunately only 1 team this year go through for Devon to the National Finals at Tamworth in April.
