Club Champions decided!

Three games played in round 6 of the club championship.
Congratulations to Euan McDiarmid on drawing with his father (Allan McDiarmid) to win the championship with 5/6!
Congratulations also to David Hale on defeating Lewis Pantony to win the minor championship with 4/6.
Club Championship
Matt Rounds can also reach 5/6 but Euan has the better tie-break score having beaten Matt in round 3.
This result concludes an excellent season for Euan where he has won the autumn and spring lightnings and now the club championship. I don’t believe this clean sweep has been achieved previously and Euan is probably the youngest winner of the club championship!
In the decider for the minor championship the fortunes swung both ways but in the end it was David that was victorious.
