The final was played on rink 3. On the first end Roly was lying shot but Wilf with his last bowl burnt the end. Wilf picked up one shot on the second end, Roly tied the game with one shot on the third.
On the fourth end Roly took out the lying shot to hold three, but with his last bowl Wilf burnt the end.
In the fifth Wilf picked up one shot leading 2-1 going into the last end. Roly was lying game when Wilf with his last bowl took the jack into the ditch and won the game on a measure, a great match with some excellent bowling.
