Congratulations to Captain Kelvin Woodward and his merrymen leading the B team to victory. Both Headington A and B teams have won their respective Divisions, the A team won Division 1 quite comfortably. The B team played a hard fought game against their closest rival Witney Mills.

Going into the game at Witney the B team were top on shot difference only, so everything was on Thursday night's game. In a very close game Russell Edwards' rink with Paul Costin, Toby Earp, Kelvin Woodward won their game and Shaun Claridge’s rink with Brian Stratford, John Henwood, Norman Rae also winning.

Steve Gould’s rink of Barrie Hudson, Dave North, Dennis Crook, losing by just one shot and Colin Whitehead being the last rink to finish, as usual, with Alan Manger, Sam Kibblewhite, Ian Kibblewhite. It was important that they did not lose the last end by more than 4 shots. With the rest of the team looking on, it went down to the last two woods with Colin’s rink holding 2 shots to draw the game. The overall game was won by 5 shots with the points 4.5 to 1.5.

The team celebrated in style in Witney Mills Club.
