After an absence of several years, the Aldeburgh Carnival Pairs returned to our calendar with a resounding success on Saturday 15th August.
Nineteen pairs entered and after playing 3 qualifying games, the best 8 teams advanced to the knock-out stages. As the tournament advanced the semi-finals saw Rob & Bev Wheeler (Aldeburgh) face John Willis & Jon Swallow (Eels Foot & Moules & Bolues finalists the other week). In the other semi-final it was an all-Bressingham match-up with Dave Smith & Les Shilling going up against Mick Clarke & Liz Rudling.
On completion of the semi-finals, Rob & Bev and Mick & Liz were the finalists, which was to be the only game played to 13 points (all other games were played to 7 ends, rather than timed).
However the strength of the opposing team was too much for the Wheelers to handle and the Bressingham pairing eased to victory to become our 2015 winners.
A great day with all the other Carnival activities going on around us and many spectators and interested persons watching and asking about the sport.
