The final County Championship competition of the year, the Mixed Fours, saw the title retained by the Ross-on-Wye team of Elaine George, Ian Roe and Pam and Ian Park. They defeated the previous weekend’s Fours competition winners, Rod Dawson (Woolhope), Carole Rowland (Fownhope), Terry Darrington and Rita Hancock (Aston Ingham) in the final.

Having built up a five shot lead going into the last end of the final the Ross team simply had to limit any losses. However, Rita Hancock was not letting the chance of a second county title in a week go without a fight, firing the jack off the mat and killing the end when a win was no longer possible.

Ross developed another strong position in the replayed end, this time with the jack trailed back to the edge of the ditch where a kill was not possible, and thus secured their win. This ensured that a third county title came to Ross, following earlier successes in the Singles and Triples.
