Wangaratta Ladies enjoyed an outstanding week at the District Club Champion of Champions events in Townsville.

‍

Linda Scells was crowned B Grade Singles champion after defeating opponents from Suburban, South Townsville and Thuringowa. In the A Grade Singles, Penny Warren was narrowly beaten in the final by Thuringowa's Wendy Jones. Penny and Denise Wallace bounced back on Saturday to win the A Grade Pairs final over Wendy and Kate from Thuringowa. They now progress to the Zone 8 playoffs at Silkwood on August 8.

‍

Back at the club, Wangaratta edged out All States by just one shot in the annual challenge. The winning rink was Toni Bowen, Robyn Stitt, Jocelynn Defranciscis and Graeme Read, while runners-up were Sue Symonns, Peter Nesbitt, Sandra Snow and Max Ritchie.

‍

Monday's self-selected triples were won by Peter Nesbitt, Peter Howie and Max Ritchie, with Lorraine Knight, Greg Colquhoun and Fely Duncan runners-up. The jackpot remained unclaimed.

‍

Tuesday winners were Shirley McSwain, L Jackson and Kevin Jewell, while Sharon Coleman, John Harding and France Willmann finished runners-up. Again, the jackpot did not go off.

Thursday's winners were Graham McSwain, Dave Madden and Viv Ritchie, with Terry, Bill and Lorraine runners-up. Resting touchers went to Carole and Paul.

‍

Sunday winners on Rink 5 were Ron Hyde, Jill Gillies and Jan Harvey, while the +13 jackpot was claimed by Maureen Hyde, Brian Bellingham and John Williams.
