East Williamston were hopeful, with 3 teams entered into this year’s South Pembs Pairs Competition, having won it last year with Mandy & Chris.
The event was held at Heatherton on Saturday 6th January where a total of 20 teams had been entered. This years pairings were Sharon & Mandy, Mark & Fran and Theresa & Phill P. The twenty teams were split across 4 groups for the initial round robin stages, with the top 2 from each group going through to the quarter finals. Mark & Fran found themselves in a very strong group against some tough competition, but won all games except one, against St Johns which, despite taking all 6 shots on one end, resulted in a draw, placing East Williamston second in the group. Both Sharon & Mandy and Theresa & Phill won all of their matches to top their respective groups. Teams were drawn in the quarter final where Phill & Theresa were to face Badgers and the other two East Williamston teams were to face each other, which would see disappointment for one of the pairs. Mandy & Sharon started strongly and were 5-0 ahead by the 2nd end, however Mark & Fran pulled them back to take the win by just 1 point to secure their place in the semi final (plus bragging rights)! In the semi final Phill & Theresa played against Allen Watts from Llanteg & Graham Harries from Skrinkle. East Williamston had an early lead but it wasn’t to be as Alan & Graham took the win. Fran & Mark knew, having drawn against St Johns earlier that it wasn’t going to be an easy match. St Johns were playing well, drawing to the jack every end and even when East Williamston were holding 3 or 4, St Johns managed to pinch ends, eventually taking the win to take them through to the final. Finishing joint 3rd was an excellent result for East Williamston but congratulations go to Norman & Richard from St Johns who won the final (and the trophy) 🏆
