With Group 4 winning 8 nil the previous week Group 1 knew they had to win to have any chance of making the final.
With just a couple of Ends to go Group 1 were winning on 3 of the four rinks before disaster struck.
Group 4 skip managed to trail the jack for 5 shots and secure a win for his rink.
Overall we lost 3 points to 5 and probably any chance of a place in the final.
Well done to all that played and the travelling supporters

In the last Wally Ball Group game Group 1 had to win all four rinks to stand any chance of making the final.
Unfortunately this was not to be and the four rinks were shared 2 each.
Drawing 2 games and losing 1 was just not good enough to make the final this year but I would like to thank everyone who played and also supported Group 1 in the Wally Ball this season
