Congratulations go to Andrew Ashfold, Andrew Collett and Roger Keen for winning the triples. They were taken to an extra end by three fine new bowlers in  Janis Owen, Keith Jephcott and Richard Mullan.

The singles was a match of two halves with Jim Bass coming back to win from 3  12  down   22  14  against Richard Mullan.
