M. Mitchell 14 lost to S. Alden 22

Manning have defeated favourites Kalamunda to win the First Division White flag and advance to Premier League next season.

It was AJ Heal's rink of McIlhenney(who was in inspirational form), Hogg, and Bowden who put the Tigers away with an eighteen point win.

Despite the sterling efforts of Simon Alden, Billy Brandsma, Coyle, and Hutchinson(with Brandsma a standout), who did what not many could do; give Matty Mitchell's four a start of eight and fight back to win by eight,
Mitch Biglin, Studds, Bartlett, and Orchard, who won by eight over Wayne Heldt, the margin was too big, and the Eagles prevailed.

John Francisco, with a slightly altered line up, Peter Coles swapping with Phil Gillespie, played their part by achieving the tough assignment of getting over the Farley Anderson rink by three shots in an absorbing encounter.

It was a meritorious win by the Eagles, doing it the hard way this time, coming from fourth place.

There is speculation around the traps of some off season signings heading in the Manning direction, so they can look to their venture into Premier League with confidence .
