Vic Morris Round 2
In the cup, Elliott and Floutier had a tough battle with Elliott eventually prevailling with a scant margin of 100. Watson beat Briggs and Edwards were the winners of their match against Sowter. The match between Pacey and Wells / Young was postponed, but thankfully there is plenty of time to get this played before Round 3.
Kelly has withdrawn from the Plate so the draw was re-done last night as this now involved a trio. George beat Dobbie and the encounter between Young / Wells and Parker was postponed. In the trio, Reavy beat Suter and Blake but Blake also beat Suter, so Reavy and Blake go through to the next round. Trios in a pivot teams are a bit complex to organise as everyone changes partners after 5 boards and thank you to John Reavy for taking charge.
