The Mens B Special 4 Team on Thursday night defeated Tullamarine by only 1 game at Strathmore. The Team consisted of David Shaw, Will Egan, Russell Bedggood and Robert Temple played on the night, with Michael Benton, Terry Benton and Simon Philpot supporting the players. This team also won their Semi Final by one game from 4th on the Ladder. Both Tullamarine and Doutta Galla played in very hot conditions and played very well in a very, very close match.
