In the midweek, the division one team travelled to Midlands Golf where it experienced a difficult game against a stronger side, who defeated Smeaton by 22 shots. One rink, however, won by 13 shots; Miriam Haines, Keren May, Rhonda Armstrong and skip Beth Davidson won easily, 29 to 16.
In division three, Smeaton took on Linton in what eventuated to be a close game with tied scores deciding the final result. Graeme Perry, Robyn Bradshaw, Laraine Toose and skip Carol McKay’s rink won by eight shots while Peter Kersley, Robin Cawthan, Maxine Rousch and Bev Shaw won by nine but Marilyn Stephens’ rink of Winston Pickering, Barb Adam and Kerry Leishman lost by seventeen shots.
