Talking Newspaper Gala 2015

Thornfield's first gala of 2015 saw twelve teams take to the green to raise funds for the Rugby Talking Newspaper.

Two points separated the top six teams with “Team Preps” leading the way. “Colin's Boys” and “Super Duper Newspapers” were joint second while fourth was shared by “The Talkies”, “Rainbows” and “Ole Codgers”. At the half-time break “Super Duper Newspapers” held a one point point lead over “Colin's Boys”, who in turn were a point ahead of “Ole Codgers” in third place. “Leos” and “Uprisers” completed the top five in fourth and fifth respectively.

With one round of games left “Super Duper Newspapers” (Jan Mitchell, Sue Henderson, Les Hartopp & Bob Henderson) held a slender lead over “Ole Codgers”. “Colin's Boys” and “Leos” were joint third and “Tacky” fifth. 27 points gave “Super Duper Newspapers” a six point victory margin over “Tacky” and “Leos” in joint second. “Talkies” and “Ole Codgers” were a point further back in joint fourth.

Two teams were locked in a battle for the footnote award, both “Plonkers” and “Bluebirds and Bustards” were tied on six points each but “Bluebirds and Bustards” (Mandy Dahlgren, Tony Hoffman, Pat Dahlgren and Ian Gibbs) scored one shot less to secure bottom spot.
