On Rink 1, men’s club captain, David Winnan with men’s A captain, Tony Nancholas number three, Doug Travers number two and Graham Ron’s leading, proved far too strong for Truro’s Chris Loaders rink with Mike Kinley number three, John Rich number two and Andy Parker leading. After ten ends Falmouth led 16-5 and only token resistance enabled the Truro rink to reach 14 shots as Falmouth went on to win by a huge 45-14, taking 17 shots in the last five ends.

Rink 2 saw Falmouth’s Paul Bobin at skip, David Hey number three, Phil Eells number two and Paddy McMullen at lead take a 14-7 lead after ten ends against Truro’s Brian Davey’s rink with Roy Townsend number three, C Sanders number two and N Mibruff leading.

Falmouth got stuck on 14 for four ends as Truro came back to be only two shots in arrears 14-12, but Falmouth then took control and finished in grand style taking 13 shots from the last four ends to win 32-16.

With a shake up in personnel, rink three saw Tom Reid take over the roll of skip, whilst Ron Medlyn dropped to number three, Tony Pereir number two and John Bishop brought in from the B side at lead.

After ten ends both sides were level at 9-9 when tea was taken.

Truro’s David Edgecomb at skip, Len Rowe number three, Tony Collins at number two and Tony Montanson at lead were proving difficult for the Falmouth team to shake off as on at least two occasions holding five and six shots only to see David Edgecomb come in for shot or scatter the head. However on the 18th end Falmouth picked up seven shots followed by a four to win the game 27-18, to give Falmouth all five points.

REDRUTH C 56 FALMOUTH A 53 Visiting Redruth C on Tuesday evening the As knew it would be tough on the Redruth green on rinks one and two across the pavilion, which are known to be very difficult.

Rink 1 saw Falmouth’s David Winnan at skip, Tony Nancholas number three, Doug Travers number two and Graham Irons leading have a shock, as on the second end Redruth’s Denis Wards rinks, Derek Grubb number three, Tony Eathorne number two and M Styles leading pick up a “hot shot” – eight shots on one end to take an 8-2 lead.

Gradually Falmouth eased their way back into the game to only trail by three shots after 12 ends – Redruth then got stuck on 13 for four ends and 15 for four ends as the Falmouth team now in control went on to a comfortable win 24-17 after the early shock.
