Robert and Steven came out first and fast, winning the first five ends taking them to an 8-nil lead, and then out further to be leading 12-3 after nine ends.
Roger and John then decided to chase them down, winning the next four ends to be trailing 10-12.
With five ends remaining, the scoreboard read 13-12 to Robert and Steven. With only three ends left, Roger and John had snuck to a two shot lead (17-15).
With a three on end 19, Robert and Steven were back in front 18-17. Roger and John scored a single on end 20; all squared up at 18 a-piece.
With Robert and Steven securing one shot on the last end they were declared Major/Minor Pairs Champions for the year.
So congratulations and commiserations, respectively, to all these bowlers.
Also last weekend Col Stanley and David Lyes travelled to Armidale Ex-Servies for Champion of Club Champions, but unfortunately were defeated on Saturday morning.
No championship matches have been boarded for this weekend.
Just a couple of notes for my fellow bowlers:
Nomination sheets are on the noticeboard for the upcoming Championships. Nominations will close on Sunday, 6 September.
Also on this date will be the men’s bowls AGM at 11.30am followed by Box draw pairs with dress code being mufti.
