Mid Week Round 7
11 – 3 – 26
Men’s Double triples
Four losses; not the best way to finish the competition. EP1 would have been hoping for two wins to consolidate their first place but now have to wait to see how the following placed teams Riccarton Racecourse 1, Burnside 1 and Rangiora perform. Chances of remaining first are slim.
Div. 1 EP1 v Halswell 2  B. McIntosh 16 – 23               N. Johnstone 10 – 21
Div. 2 EP2 v Halswell 1 N. Buchanan 18 – 20              R. Scott 8 – 35
