Fallbrook squeaks by Oceanside to cribbage match win

The Fallbrook Senior Center cribbage team narrowly won the January 25 Senior Challenge. With 38 players in the event, the Fallbrook team won 67 games to the Oceanside Senior Center team’s 66 wins.

Leading the way for Fallbrook was Ed Wozniak, who won all seven games. In second and third were Oceanside’s Bob Rebar and Fallbrook’s Norman Peterson, who each had five wins with two skunks. Rounding out the top five were Carl Troupe and Barb Sacic with five wins and one skunk apiece. Ed also won the $25 gift card donated by Albertsons. He had the special hand, which was the first triple run (15-point) hand of the day.
