1st September - Romilly 'A' v. Beddau (Away)

After a somewhat indifferent first half to the season, Romilly A side staged a recovery and travelled to Beddau needing 1 point to avoid relegation. For a long time during the match this looked unlikely, however, a fighting performance by the team in support of Denis Mottram's last game as 'A' team captain resulted in the team gaining two points.

18-22

Rink 2 - P. James, J. Kirkpatrick, P. Edwards and Skip - Ray Hewitson

After 17 ends Romilly A trailed 9-23 but pulled back 11 shots in the last four ends to suffer a narrow defeat 20 - 23

Rink 3 - D. Noble, B. Parker, D. Mottram and Skip - David Francis

17 - 25

Rink 4 - J. Daly, P. Herbert, J. Kirk and Skip - Barrie Griffiths

'After 8 ends, Rink 4 were down 3 - 14 and staged a terrific fighting performance to run out winners 24 - 19 . Thereby securing 2 points guaranteeing the team remaining in the same division

Aggregate 79 - 89

Denis Mottram thanked all the players for their support during his season as 'A' team Captain.
