Unfortunately the Easter triples had to be changed from last year’s format when a disappointing 14 teams entered. Mick Barber’s composite team from Cootamundra CC, Windang and Kiama were the only six game winners and collected first place prize money with another composite of B. Beatson from Nyngan, G. Ryan ACT and O. Lopez Cootamundra Ex collecting the runner up prize.
A big thank you to our sponsors SW Credit Union, Wattle Tree Motel, Twomeys, Wattle Butchery, Cootamundra CC and Cootamundra Ex without their support this tournament could not be run.

WEDNESDAY morning a round of club major singles were played between Wendy Deacon and Carolyn Buchanan marked by Shirley. A good game with only a point difference on the 12th end, but the more experienced Wendy gained the upper hand to have the win. On rink five, a social game of triples were played between Kye, Rhonda and Margaret M and Sara, Bev and Freda skipping and winning. A good enjoyable game with Kye showing a lot of potential.
On Friday several of our ladies joined the men in a mixed tournament. No play on Saturday due to the men's club running a tournament.
