THERE was an excellent turnout for the Galashiels Domino League Open Doubles Competition staged in the Royal British Legion Club on Thursday evening.

Twenty-six pairs entered the tournament which was won by Michael O’Donnell and Norman MacIver from Niki’s Bar edging home in a closely fought final against Graham and Linda Godsell from Gala Bowling Club.

Michael said:”I won the trophy with Kenny Johnstone a few years back so it is great to get my name on the trophy again.”

Norman added:”I missed out when the team won the Knock Out Cup at the Ladhope recently as I was away and they haven’t let me forget it so I can hold my head high in the bar again!”
