A Double Rink game was played on Tuesday, August 4, and was away.

Again this was the last match in this league for this season.

Windsor ladies again proved too strong for the home club in the Afternoon League match on Thursday, August 6.

Windsor won two out of the three rinks as Murch bowlers managed to snatch a one point lead on rink one.

Unfortunately, rink two were a player short and could not compensate for the loss in spite of it being a close game, while rink three succumbed to a stronger side.

Overall score, Murch 34 1/2 shots, Windsor 46, a comfortable margin of 11 1/2 shots.

Rink one: J Garland, A Croom, P Ayres and skip S Mauchline (captain) - Murch 18 Windsor 17
