Beere achieves remarkable double

LUCY BEERE enjoyed another outstanding weekend at the Channel Islands Championship finals.

On her home rink at the Vale Rec, Beere thrashed Jersey champion Lindsay Greechan 21-8, but it will be her pairs success with Jan Lawrence that will forever linger in the memory.

The Guernsey champions were staring defeat in the face at 20-14 down with one end remaining.

Sue Dingle and Helen Greechan must have thought they were home and dry, but in a remarkable twist the Guernsey pairing produced a six on the 18th and final end to force a play-off end which they took by a single shot.

In the men's singles final, Guernsey's Gary Pitschou beat Cyril Renouf 21-18 on a dominant weekend for the Sarnians as they won nine matches out of 15.
