Sturt I women played at home on Thursday 15 January against Beaumont III, but were unsure what to expect because Beaumont had three "Other Gender" players, said coach Peter Hughes.
"After five ends we were going OK, 9 shots up.
"As the game went on Sturt skippers Jackie Hammond (with Janine Skurray, Lyn Witt and Cathy Stevens) and Wendy Rutten (with Sharon Gray, Terry Morgan and Joanne Kirby) directed their rinks very effectively and were in a tussle for rink-of-the-day honours.
"After the 19th end they were both 26-9; then Jackie’s rink went ahead to win that battle, scoring 33-9.
"Sturt I convincingly won the second half, 46-14.
"This powerful result saw Sturt 1 retain top spot on the ladder, boosting their percentage along the way."
