Woolston carried off the Hampshire fours title for the first time in living memory after a stirring final at Atherley.

In an intriguing match their rink of Alan Smith, Gary Milne, Dave Hughdie and Mick Milne (Gary's brother) led 7-0 and fell 12-8 behind before powering back to beat Liphook 26-15.

Level at 12 apiece after 10 ends, Woolston made the decisive break with a five on the 16th end and then drew comfortably ahead against Derek Heath, David Boorer, Les Black and Eric Sole from the North Hampshire club.

Aldershot Traction, however, were the club of the day chalking up a double by winning the singles and pairs. Keith Langfield, 21-7 conqueror of Paul Cooke (CS Portsmouth) in the semi-final, lifted the singles crown 21-14 against Julian Haines, the Boscombe Cliff man having put out Fleming Park's Alan Forrest 21-16 in his semi-final.

Middleton Cup duo Kevin Philip and Dave Dunford landed the pairs wiping out a 17-10 deficit to snatch victory 19-17 with a last-end two against Cliff Atkinson and Glyn Jones (Demead).

Southsea Waverley (Frank Middleton, Barry Starks, Iain MacKenzie) were triples champions 20-16 against CS Portsmouth (Colin Burrans, Dave Biggs, Colin Hayward).
