Sugar River Euchre

With a victory this Thursday night, Kleeman’s will become the winners of the first half, securing the first spot in the championship match to be played at the end of the season. They assured themselves of at least a first half playoff match with their 26-point win over J&M Bar last week, handing the River-Rats their eighth loss of the season. Norsk Golf Bowl is the only team that still has a chance of upsetting Kleeman’s hopes of becoming the out-right winners of the first half.
