ONE WHITE REVIEW ROUND EIGHT 7/1/06
January 8, 2006
Warwick V Morley
November 20th 2005 saw Warwick sitting at the head of the table and
they kept this authoritive position until the Christmas break. However the
walls came tumbling down after round 8 when the revitalised Morley team came
to visit.
Winning on all 4 rinks the Morley boys went home contented and
as it turned out all other results saw Warwick being leap frogged by no less
than 4 teams and relinquishing not only top spot but a position in the top
4. Morley will continue on their winning way next Saturday when they host
the winless Innaloo and Warwick’s slide will continue when they travel
to Gosnells.
North Beach V Gosnells
North Beach jumped into the top 4 for the first time this season with a hard
fought aggregate win over Gosnells. Greg Hill and Mal Potter showed the way
for the Beach boys doing just enough to counteract the two narrow losses
of the Devenish and Bowen rinks.
North Beach are now starting to hit their straps
and if they can get over the inconsistent Kardinya team in round 9 the foundations
could be laid for a return to the big league next season.
Safety Bay v Innaloo
Safety Bay are cock-a-hoop. Sitting on top of the ladder, plenty of home
games remaining and a spirited team all goes well for a top 4 finish. Albeit
Innaloo
that they defeated, a win is a win, and the southerners will be eagerly
awaiting the Kalamunda boys on Saturday for what looms as a tense top of
the table
clash
Thornlie V Kalamunda
I am so used to reporting that the Payne and Griffin rinks carried Kalamunda
to another victory but not this week.
Billy Brandsma and Rick Eddy kept off
the Christmas pudding and egg nog and started 2006 in a winning way ensuring
that major points went to the boys from the hills. Thornlie have been
nothing short of disappointing this season.

Scarborough V Kardinya
In the remaining game of round 8 Geoff White and Ron Kuziela carried the
aggregate for Scarborough in their 23 shot victory over Kardinya. Tony
Cocodis had another rink win for the Kardinya team taking his record to
8 from 8. Rumour has it that Tony is in such good form that when he is
down on the head, his third asks him to drag the kitty and this shot has
been christened “The Cocodis Trail”.

Kardynia
Kempy picked 4 winners in
round 8.
