Wrap of Pennant & Challenge Finals The BCiB Men’s Midweek Pennant Season came to a close yesterday as four pennants were awarded and numerous challenge finals played to decide the make-up of next years pennant structure.
Pennant Finals
Bassendean continued to show their strength by winning another Midweek Pennant title – remarkably their 5th in 6 years for the top side with 3 of those at Premier League level. They fought out a very close match against Osborne Park who had the courtesy of home ground advantage. Played on a slick green which both clubs enjoyed the David Rhodes skipped rink with Kim Stoner, Mick Erceg and Simon Alden proved the difference with a good 25-14 win to secure the aggregate.
In 1st White Mosman Park were awarded the pennant flag courtesy of finishing on top of the ladder. Sadly for them they weren’t able to cap the day off in the challenge final as Kalamunda beat them by three shots to remain in Premier League.
1st Blue saw Morley once again win a pennant flag. The club had recruited strongly and proved far too good for Vict Park Carlisle with a big 67-43 victory. A 34-9 win by John Armstrong and his team of Anthony Provost, Nigel Minchin and Henry Lim largely responsible for the size of the victory.
Warnbro are another club on the rise and added their second pennant flag winning the second division competition to go with a Saturday 1st Blue flag. They had a tight tussle against Mundaring but came up trumps with a hard fought 68-64 victory.
