Superbowl
recently defeated Benavista to regain the West of the Tunnel Annual
Challenge Trophy. The event is played every September over two legs
with 6 rinks (fours) representing each club, the winners being the
team with the highest aggregate score over the two legs.
The first leg was played at Benavista and was spoiled by heavy rain,
the match was called off early with Benavista leading by 12 shots.
Superbowl Captain Craig Lewis offered to return to play the
outstanding ends but this was sportingly declined by Benavista
Captain Bill Ogden.
The return leg at Superbowl was played in much better conditions.
Midway through the evening it looked as though Benavista were going
to hold on to their lead with some Superbowl rinks well down, though
Mike Goodwin's rink always looked comfortable against the Benavista
rink skipped by Malcolm Greenwood.
From the midway stage Superbowl put on a charge with all rinks
playing well, the rink skipped by Shirley Owen came back from an 8
point deficit to lose narrowly 16-17 finishing as the only Superbowl
rink to lose. On the next rink John Owen's rink were 10-1 down
against Tony Farmer and came back to win 15-13 enabling Superbowl to
run out winners by 14 shots overall.
Following the match a BBQ was enjoyed by players and spectators
alike, washed down by the odd beer which helped the evening along..
