Season 2010/11

Mens Mixed Doubles.

The finals of the SDA (mens) mixed doubles were played recently in the Lerwick Legion with the 10 pairs from the previous weeks qualifiers being drawn onto two boards of 5 playing round robin format with the winner of each going straight to into the final, board one was won by Neal Redfern & Glynis Harcus, and board two by Victor Young & Michelle Goudie with both pairings winning all their games on route to the final.

In the final the best of 5 legs was played, and it proved to be an entertaining affair, with Neal & Glynis going 2-1 up and looking likely to take the next sitting on double 8 but Victor took out the high checkout on the night with a classy 158 finish to square the match at 2-2, Neal then started the fifth and final leg with a 180 his second of the match Glynis also put in a big score which opened up a lead that Victor and Michelle were unable to pull back leaving Neal and Glynis as deserved winners after a hard fought match. Victor also had a 180 during the final, others to hit a max score on the night were Marc Henry & Ronnie Johnson.

A spoksmen thanked the Legion & their staff for hosting the event and supplying the prize bottles and to Zena Johnson for presenting the shield.
