B1: MOYHU upset Myrtleford in Saturday’s grand final at Wangaratta. The result was a reversal of the qualifying final result two weeks prior when Myrtleford comfortably won against Moyhu. Robert Morgans, Stuart Brain, Max Montgomery and Stewart Day performed in the best rink on the day saluting with a 26-19 win against Jeff Stagg’s rink. Ian Ritchie, Neil Magee, Howard White and Anthea Nockels had their work cut out against Les Brown’s rink but managed to squeeze out a two-shot win, 21-19, while Charlie Thompson, Max Baker, Joe Northey and Neale Grimshaw fell short of a strong Graham Burrington rink, 21-26. It was a well-deserved win for Moyhu and just reward for their consistency, having been on the wrong side of the ledger in the last three grand finals in the B1 division. Final scores: Moyhu 68 shots def Myrtleford 64 shots. A3: Mansfield continued their recent domination of opponents Beechworth when they claimed victory in the A3 grand final at Wangaratta on Saturday. Mike Harrison, Stephen Lewis, Noel Jackson and Brian Revell were the big winners for the Eagles posting a 25-11 rink win, while Mick Walsh, Ray Robinson, Graham Smith and Enid Smith won 28-22 against a strong Beechworth rink skipped by Rickie Robinson. George Peterson, Elaine Peterson, Chris Lewis and Marian Ryan went down 20-26, and John Foots, Peter Roberts, Mark Bettany and Shane O’Brien also went down 17-24. The final scores flattered Beechworth, with Mansfield well in control for most of the day, with the Beechworth charge too little, too late. Final scores: Mansfield 88 shots def Beechworth 83 shots.
