SEVENTEEN cribbage teams in Malvern have been battling it out over the past six weeks for the Brian Shayler Memorial Team Challenge.

The outcome was decided on the very last game with Malcolm Mason winning 3-0 to give Bob & Bob the title by one point over RSRE.

Kevin Mansbridge from RSRE was awarded the best singles average throughout the competition.
