2023 Fours Champions

 

2023 Fours Champions - M. Hogden, A. Rhodes, P. Watson, & D. Fleming

The 'David & Goliath' Final of the UBMBC 2023 Fours Championship was played this afternoon (29/1/2023).
Bobby Govaz, Frankie Corkill, Upu Kila & Geoff Collins took on the might of Darrin Fleming, Paul Watson, Allan Rhodes & Mark Hogden. Mark's side picked up 5 shots on the 9th end to make the score 14 - 2. Fortunately the nerves of Geoff's side abated and they came roaring back to make it 15 - 13 after 15 ends.
Mark's side started to look nervous, but managed to focus again and Geoff's side started to fall short (a no no when you are down). Mark's side won 5 out of the last 6 ends to win the final 22 - 14.
Geoff's side had their chances, but Finals experience was the difference, especially in the last 6 ends. The boys just managed to finish the game, just as the storm came in. A big crowd watched and enjoyed this very entertaining Final. Very well done to runners up Bobby Govaz, Frankie Corkill, Upu Kila & Geoff Collins, for making the final, with so much stiff competition. Congratulations to Darrin Fleming, Paul Watson, Allan Rhodes & Mark Hogden on becoming the UBMBC 2023 Fours Champions....
