GREENHILL lifted the Baker Cup after a titanic battle with Wellworthy in the showpiece final which was played at Dorchester.

The game between Greenhill’s N Skidmore, W Brown, M Gale and skip B Patterson and Wellworthy’s J Kelly, N Apsey, B Mills and skip C Slade was nip and tuck at 9-9 after 13 ends but the Weymouth side ran away in the final stages, winning these ends by 13-1 and finishing as clear 22-10 victors.

Wellworthy also competed well in the first half of the tussle between A Goodwin, G Smith, S Livings and skip M Haylock and Greenhill’s J Allen, M Irvine, W Smith and skip M Chislett and were in fact a shot in front after 14 ends.

However, Greenhill again upped their game in the latter stages to gain a comfortable 22-15 success.

The contest between Greenhill’s StJ Corben with H Hovenden, D Obee, M Durant and their opponent’s K Tilyard, D Hicks, G Field and skip G Reed was effectively decided in the first 10 ends when Greenhill romped to a 24-4 advantage before coasting to an excellent 29-17 win.
