It was an outstanding victory for RSL on the Rochester greens.
John Wilson, Archie Webster, Graeme Gordon, and Sandra Hill had a dominant rink victory.
They amassed 31 shots, winning on 14 ends while allowing their opponents only 13 shots overall.
Scores were 4-all after five ends, but from that point on RSL exerted their authority with some big scoring ends.
They scored a five, two fours and a three to take complete control.
All players were in great touch with solid contributions from all.
Jim Jennings and his team of Lindsay Dalzell, Peter Liefting and Neville Austin went down by a single shot on their rink.

Scores were tight all day, with RSL leading 9-7 after 10 ends and 16-14 after 19.
Echuca then grabbed a four on the penultimate ends to lead 18-16, with RSL taking a single on the last end.
Echuca White 18 defeated Deni RSL 17.
It was a great match - very appropriate for a grand final, with nothing between both teams all day with all players evenly matched.
