The tournament which saw a very strong capacity field of 32 teams revitalising the Masters Triples which hasn’t been run in WA for over 15 years.
The champions with skipper Slavich who bowled brilliantly and was ably assisted by Collins and Such to get through a strong section then defeated quality rinks in the finals skipped by Cody Packer 19-6, Neville Stevens 19-14 and Perth Suns team mate Shane Knott 13-9 in the final.
The final was a very low scoring affair until Shane Knott with Anthony Williams and Beau Manton who was subbing for an injury Kyle McIlroy hit the lead 9-8 with a terrific three. However Slavich’s team immediately answered when Slavich played a small trail then drew another to grab back the lead 10-8 with a three of their own. After that they held steady with good consistent play eventually closing out the match dropping only one further end.
Congratulations to Bassendean on running a terrific event and well done to the winners and finalists.
