Congratulations to the Gladstone B teams in winning this year's Graham White Cup which was played on an excellent Heswall RBL green.

With their opponents being given a 10 shot start, the New Brighton Quarry Vikings B team began by winning 4 of the first 5 jacks and take a 16 shot lead.

The Gladstone B team then rallied and took 4 of the next 5 jacks to win the match with the smallest of margins - 1 shot.

An excellent performance by both teams to keep the spectators excited to the end.
