The Senior side did a fantastic job to finish runner up, Wings Evans and his rink performed the ultimate going thru the event without defeat. A feat that no other W.A side has acomplished since the inception of the series.
He also became the first player to win the best player medal twice.
QUEENSLAND bt WA
West Australia were defeated for the first time in the series when they lost to Queensland in what was a virtual playoff for the title. It was nip and tuck all the way until the last two ends.

October 18, 2011
West Australia got away to a good start today in the Australian Senior
side series with a very good win against the reigning Champs Victoria...
The side was well served by Tony Krajancic's rink who won handsomely against Ray Morissey who was a big player for Victoria last year when he finished second best performed skip in the series held at Manning.
Tony's rink win set it up this importantW.A win.
Wings Evans got back from the brink to win on the last end while the best performed skip over the years Prickles Thorn and his rink lost narrowly to the 3rd best performed rink at Manning last year the brilliant Ian Ross.
.
The next game for W.A is tomorrow morning against the Northern Territory who have three West Australain Players in their side, Geoff Gunning, Brian Jepperson and Jim McElroy
Latest news on the Senior Scene; Colin O`Brien has pulled out of the side to go over to Warilla, Colin unfortunetly has done his back in and is unfit to play. This is a blow to W.A State Senior side especially after his outstandingly good performance at Manning in last years series when he led for Tony Krajancic, which incidently was W.A's best performed rink.
Good news is Bill Galloway who has represented W.A in every series since the inception of Interstate Senior sides series and done so with distinction will take Colin's place and play as a leader..
The side is gearing up to be in top form by the time the series gets underway will play at Osborne Park against an Osborne Park side tomorrow afternoon.
The side and how they will line up in the series is
Prickles Thorn (sk) Geoff Whyatt, Henry Slawinski Bill Galloway
Wings Evans (sk) Pat Caffell, Geoff White, Gordon King
Tony Krajancic (sk) Dave Armstrong, Roger Barns, Glyn Vaughan.
There have been 5 changes to last years side and interestingly the side has 3 new 3rds. Regardless, the side looks to be a very strong twelve and we hope they can do as well as the previous sides who were terrific on tour.
Three West Australians have been selected to play in the Northern Territory side ...........
