Guy and Goodwin had a close game with the cricketer emerging the winner by a couple of shots. Walker were usually having the better of Dand, but Madar, in spite of his unorthodox style, made things level before the third men bowled Here Craig and Armstrong had a close tussle as did the skips, between whom there was little to close.

As the final score

indicated

Craigengower had things pretty, much their own way against the Police Club, George Moss, with a deficit of seven shots âgainst Bradbury, being the only visiting skip to put up any serious op- position. This rink, finished in the dark with Club lights dimmed to avoid casting shadows on the green, so an indication of the tenseness of the struggle may be formed.
