With plenty of overnight and early morning rain it was a late start for the four sections winners who progressed into the semi-finals of the East Coast Triples for 2020-21 at St Marys Sports Centre.

In the semi-finals M Dalla-Vecchia from Swansea played T Faulkner from Scamander.

It would be T Faulkner’s rink who would go into the final winning ten of the eighteen ends. Final scores were 18 shots to 14.

The second semi final was contested by B Hill (composite side) from Swansea and M Oliver from Bicheno.

With Barry Hill winning eleven of the seventeen ends and there was no need to play the last end.

B Hill progressed into the final with the score line was 16 to 6.

In the final it was Scamander side consisting of Tony Faulkner, John O’Hara and Sue Smith, jumped out to an early lead of seven to nil after four ends but then Swansea found some form and won thirteen of the next sixteen ends to take out the title 20 to 12.
