For the first time since October 28, 2021, which was my first ever day of pennants – All 6 Manning Thursday teams have won their aggregates, meaning we all got a free beer and gave the treasurer an aneurysm.

We didn’t get a single instance of all 6 Manning teams winning in 2022-23, largely due to being ravaged by 20+ players out every week…

But, given this was the reverse fixture for Country Week in February, when all 6 teams go on the road, we had all 6 teams/18 rinks at home, and 15/18 would go on to win… the 3 losers had to pay for the drinks.

Premier League South: Manning 1 defeated Cockburn 72-44 (5-1)

Premier League South: Manning 2 defeated Kardinya 64-51 (6-0)

Division 2 White: Manning defeated Thornlie 71-61 (5-1)

Division 3 White: Manning defeated Forrestfield 86-44 (6-0)

Division 4 White: Manning defeated Thornlie 63-44 (5-1)

Division 5 White: Manning defeated Kalamunda 2 69-44 (5-1)

Ah, what a good day.
