Dandaragan win Pennant thriller
Results from Central West Coastal This season’s ladies Central West Coast pennant final was definitely one to be remembered. The final was played on the 7th March between Dandaragan and Leeman. Dandaragan who finished on top of the ladder went straight into the final after beating Cervantes in the semi. Leeman’s win against Cervantes in the Preliminary final paved the way for them to play in their first ever grand final. The final was to be played at Dandaragan but was moved to Badgingarra due to hot weather to make use of their shade cover over their green.
On one rink it was neck and neck the entire 21 ends between Kerry McMillen’s team from Dandaragan and Annie Atthowe’s team from Leeman. On the other rink Margaret Johnson’s Dandaragan team took out a good lead early against Sandra Trenowden’s team from Leeman, which they held most of the game. However, Sandra’s team fought back in the last few ends of the game. The result was a tied aggregate and an extra end being played to determine the winner. Dandaragan eventually won the pennant by three shots. Congratulations to the winners Dandaragan and to both sides for their great sportsmanship and treating the large crowd of spectators to a wonderful game of bowls.
