Grant Wakefield & Adrian Cronin vs Jamie Hill & Barry O’Brien: 11-12 Final – Crucial moment in this match at 7-7 when Wakefield was holding 4 shots until Jamie Hill’s last bowl that drove the kitty clean which made it bounce back up the green. After some contention of how far the kitty had to be up, the rulebook was consulted to say it needs to be up 20m to be live. With Wakefield holding one shot, a long measure was called. The kitty wasn’t up so was respotted on the 2m mark where Jamie & Bazza held 3 shots. A massive turnaround. Wakefield/Cronin still only lost by one.

Ken Brown & Gareth Evans vs Gavin Hamlyn & Scott Roddick: 12-16 Final
Brian Little & Brian Looker vs Brian Whale & Terry Patterson: 17-12 Final
