THE Munro Cup match at Victoria Park, between Cadoxton and Sully Sports, resulted with both sides winning two rinks each, but the aggregate going in favour of the visitors.

Howard Craven’s rink scored a four on the opening end against Keith Roman’s rink, but a four against on the sixth end took away the lead. However the advantage was recovered on the 12th and held until the end.

Don Kuhnell also scored a four on the first end against Charles Coomber, and the ascendancy was held throughout the game. After 11 ends the score had reached 18 – 5, but the visitors rallied in the closing stages and were successful in five of the last seven, very tight ends, with one end tied, but not enough for victory.

John Jones skipped against Bob Matthews and struggled to stay in the game, scoring just a single during the opening six ends. A mini revival brought six shots in three ends, but a further four ends were lost, before a spirited reply improved the position with eight shots in the final ends.

On the final rink skip Kelvin Chedgzoy met previous Cadoxton player Graham Brown who had an advantage of knowing the green better than the home players. This showed throughout the game and a comprehensive result went in the visitors favour.
