The Taikoo players were first to acore, securing a one and a two on the first couple of heads. The Civil Service responded with a couple of ones; the Taikoo Club got a useful 2; and the ground rink got another one. A unit and a couple came the way of Taikoo. who
were playing the better game, but the Civil Service rea- ponded with a couple of ones.
With the score 8-5 in favour of Taikoo it looked as if they would lose a shot until Laing came in at the critical moment. The 12th head was a rather scatterad one and it looked as if a big score would be registered against the Civil Service until Grimmitt effect- ed a fine save with his last wood. The next head was uneventful until Laing took the jack, only to see the feat emplated by Brawn.
