WINTER DOUBLES KNOCKOUT

The final of the winter doubles knockout between Gillian Allardice and Hiroko Graham versus Joan Merry and Sheena Peacock took place on Thursday and our congratulations go to the winners Gillian and Hiroko. Gillian and Hiroko have partnered each other over the last few years and are delighted to have lifted the trophy for the first time. Commiserations go to Sheena and Joan. Sheena and Joan have partnered each other for sometime now and are no strangers to the winter knockout finals. They have won this event on more than one occasion and prove along with Hiroko and Gillian to be among the strongest partnerships of the section.

The final was extremely close with Hiroko and Gillian 2 up at the turn Joan and Sheena fought back to all square by winning the 10th and 11th. But this did not deter Hiroko and Gillian who went on to win the 13th 14th and 16th to clinch the match 3 & 2. Well done to both for what was an excellent match.
