They played Steve Van Rooyen, Archie Fisher and Eric Redman, who bounced back in the second session to win it with a 2 + 24, and they played Nicola Bauristhene, Debbie Nortje and Dorianne Hodges who ended up with the sportsman’s prize with 0-many.
In second place overall was another Woodlands visitors team comprising Norman Moore, Colin and Claude Newman with 4 + 21, but the best result of the day came from yet another visitors team comprising Clive Du Plooy (Berea) and Ron Davids and Judy (Stella Park) with a 4 + 24. Of the two 60/40 boards drawn, Mike Flack (R40) and Eric (R20) took the first board between them, but young Wonke Zandilke scooped both prizes in the second draw to walk off with R60.
