The quarterfinals of the Champion of Championship Pairs was played last Friday.
Sue Musgrave and Ingrid Harriott were the winners against Lynelle Crough and Kath Daley. Although Lynelle and Kath started well the consistency of Sue and Ingrid gave them a couple of ends with a 5 and a 4shots and they were too hard to catch after that.
Carol White and Chris Myers were the winners against Annie Herden and Ros Sweeney, after Annie and Ros conceded due to Annie's health. Congratulations to the winners of these two games
