Circuit Event 3, Normandy Hotel, Renfrew

Fourteen players took part in the third Scottish Circuit Event of the season. A group stage was followed by knock-out matches to determine a ranking order of players. despite the home venue only six Glasgow players took part. Tom Burns was best placed finishing fourth but four players, Barry Corr, John Halpin, Malcolm Lees and Fraser McKenzie were runners-up in their groups. The competition was a breakthrough for Fraser McKenzie who was happy with his eighth placed finish.

The final match was a repeat of the last circuit event with Gareth Christie and Steve Bennett fighting it out. Christie was again victorious although this time he had to score an extra-time golden goal to seal the win. Christie now leads the table where only two points separate the top three. With a player’s best three events counting Christie is strong favourite since he will surely better his seventh place in circuit 1.
