Glenna Earle Speaks:  I played Ellie Prevost in the position round. Had won the 1^st game and lead the whole 2^nd game to the last 2 frames at which point  I was 67 and Ellie was 60. I had an opportunity to slide a disc behind a St Pete and unfortunately sailed into the kitchen and missed removing it on my hammer. Ellie scored an 8 so now we are 57 to 68. How do I get 11?   She kept the board clean and I had only my hammer to score 10 which I did but left the game at 67/ 68 and Ellie the win. Our 3^rd game was rather one-sided and Ellie played very well to win. My chance was lost!!!!

Final match was against Joan Cook at the foot while Ellie & Terri played the head. A really great match.  Ellie won in 2 while Joan and I came to the lag for the 3^rd game. Fortunately I was successful.

What a fun tournament, even though we were all exhausted and  it was 7:30 PM when we hit the road.
