The next Rangers Club player was Ian O’Donnell. He was up against Blackie. Ian (2 x 100) put The A team 2 points in front of the Star by beating Blackie (116) 3 – 1. The final singles game had Kenny “Nini” MacLeod play Ryan from the Star. Ryan apparently won this game 3 – 0 but the score sheet shows no game details. As Nini’s name does not appear in the triples or doubles, I wonder if he was a no-show, hence no details of this game.

The triples had, for the A team, Stephen (100), Bananas and Ivor play Don, Ryan (100) and Jamie. Ivor’s D5 finish put the match score to 4 – 2 to the A team.
The first doubles game saw Stephen (100) and Bananas play Jamie (2 x 125) and Gordon (100). Stephen’s D1 finish sealed the victory for the Rangers Club A team by putting the match score to 5 – 2. This match’s final game had Ivor and Ian play Don and Ryan (2 x 100) and Ian’s D5 checkout left a final match score of 6 – 2 to the Rangers Club A team.

Friday evening’s final game had the Golf Club play host to my own team, The Carlton. Jim from the Golf Club opened proceedings when he played Kay. Jim beat Kay 3 – 0 with the highlight being Jim’s 118 checkout in leg 3 hitting T20, 18 and D20. Young 11 year old Ciaran Peck was the Golf Club’s next player on the oche where he faced The Carlton’s Donnie “Hearach” MacDonald. Ciaran (125) put the Golf Club 2 up after beating the Heareach (103) 3 – 2 in a game that went leg for leg. The Powercut was the third Golf Club player on the oche where he played Ruaraidh Smith. The Powercut (2 x 100) increased the Golf Club’s lead to 3 – 0 after beating Ruaraidh (134, 100) 3 – 2 in another leg for leg battle.
