2025 Nationals: Day 10 wrap
It was a memorable day for both Tasmania and New South Wales as the 2025 Australian Sides Championships got underway in Devonport.
Alley Shield – Men
Hosts Tasmania would end the day on top of the table following a famous win over Queensland in the morning session in front of a raucous reception on green two.
The Apple Isle would then hold off a gallant Northern Territory in the second matchup of the day to sit atop the table with five rink wins.
New South Wales would extend its winning streak at the tournament to 21 ties thanks to a gritty first up victory against Victoria despite taking just one rink out of the three.
Western Australia would then push the Blues all the way in the second round before they would again find away to sit in second.
Victoria and Queensland round out the top four with wins over South Australia and the ACT in the second session respectively.
South Australia, the ACT, Western Australia and Northern Territory round out the ladder with a draw and loss each.
