THE Camperdown Giants’ clubrooms was full of chatter and laughter last Saturday as the club welcomed Central, Simpson, and Camperdown Golf.
With all teams playing at home, the club also enjoyed a pizza night.
Division three played Simpson 2 and had a 27-shot win, with three out of the four rinks victorious.
Tom, David, Jim and Gordon battled hard all day and came home strong in the last five ends, winning 19-17.
Ron, Stan, Bert and Paul led all day before the break, but Simpson scored on eight of the last nine ends and won 20-22.
Ron Absalom, Les, Max and Gerard started off like a bullet out of a gun and just kept firing; 32-14 was their winning score.
Les Pearson, Lenny, Filumena and Ray also started well, leading 20-6 before the break but could only manage eight more shots to hang on and win 28-17.
Next week they head south to Cobden 2 who are on the top of ladder and haven’t lost a game yet.
Dig deep and remember to win those last five ends.
