Lavington's David Warford and Walla's Tim Odewahn win Albury and District under-50s pairs

The 18-13 victory seemed unlikely when North Albury duo Danny Czuczman and Troy Campion raced to a 5-0 lead after three ends.

However, Warford and Odewahn drew level after seven ends and hit the front, 13-10, on 16 ends.

They maintained the advantage for the remainder of the 21-end contest to capture the title, 18-13.

Warford and Odewahn booked their place in the final with a strong 21-6 win against Urana's James Field in the first round and backed it up with 27-14 result against another Urana side skipped by Mick Dunnett.

Czuczman received a bye into the semi-finals and edged out clubmmate Andrew Hirst, 19-17, who had defeated Walla's Mick Heir, 26-15, earlier in the tournament.

It was the last year Warford was eligible to compete in the event.

The temperature hit 43 degrees around midday on Saturday and forced a change to the schedule as only one round could be played, with the semi-finals and final completed on Sunday.

Entries for the Albury and District triples at Henty (open) and the Commercial Club (seniors and president's reserve) close on Saturday.
