     Another one of many cool, overcast nights for our plate match tonight.  At gametime the temperature in the range was 48degrees.  Thanks go to Mathew & Wolfgang Seagraves for setting up our stage tonight.  Thanks to George Flaherty  for running our scoretable and microphone and thanks to Mark Wuesthoff for running the line tonight.  Thanks also to those that stepped in to help when needed.  Due to the efficiency of our match staff, we got in 5 rounds and a sudden death finale. All the heaters were on and the action kept everyone warm.  

     Toward the end of the Sudden Death Finale, there were still 3 shooters remaining.  So far, Mark Wuesthoff had already won the Senior Class, James Austin represented the Young Bucks & Does Class, Hal Hansen & George Flaherty were still competing for Super Senior honors.  George Flaherty & Hal Hansen duel, with George winning handily.  Exit this reporter.  sigh

     Now it's between James Austin with 3 numbers to George's 2.  In the first elimination duel, James Austin wins a fast one.

Then, for all the marbles George and James line up again, and at the start signal they both let loose volleys.  Folks, we have a winner as James beats George to the line, exit our Super Senior Class winner, George Flaherty.  James Austin wins the duel, the match, and takes home the ribbon again. 

     Well done everyone.  We'll see you all next Tuesday for our weekly plate match, and for those of you who want some practice come on out Monday evenings at 5pm.  See you then.
