Camberley Mens Senior Fours – National Champions

On 24 August 2023, Gary Clark, Martin Sampson, Simon Greenwood and Dave McCallam won the Mens Senior Fours National Championship at Leamington.

They almost went out in the preliminary round as they were six points down with two ends to go, but after a magnificent effort, they bought the game to a draw and then won on the extra end.  After that game they just got better and better and by the time they got to the final they won with ease, with the final score being thirty-three to five after fifteen ends.

Congratulations to the winners!
