Merewether well represented at Newcastle District Mixed Pairs

Four Merewether teams contested the Newcastle section of the Mixed Pairs State Championships at Lambton on Sun 31st March:

L Afflick/C Wiseman, C Chaffey/A Chaffey, L Clifford/J Mitchell & L Baxter/L Chaffey.

27 teams contested sectional play with Lee-Anne and Leon winning their section.  Games were 2 sets of 5 ends, with tiebreak end if required.

First post sectional knockout stage Baxter & Chaffey defeated B & J Carroll from Nelson Bay, winning first set 6-4 and drawing 2nd to reach semi-final stage against a composite side of Vicki Rankin Raymond Terrrace & Sean Merrick Westport.  First set of the semi-final saw Leon & Lee-Anne start strongly winning 6-2 before dropping 2nd set 4-5.  Tie break went 1 nil to Rankin & Merrick in a quality match.

Great day was had by all and congratulations to all participating teams.  Rankin & Merrick went on to win the final and will now contest the winners of Hunter River & Upper River districts with Regional winner to contest the state final at South Tamworth Bowling Club in September.
