Due to a large number of participants in this year’s competition the format, excellently overseen by Dean Simmonds, saw three players make it to the Round Robin Finals.
Defending champion The Mesh was one, as was previous finalist Dot Barker, with the evergreen Rocky “Dr Rock” Chalmers completing the trio.
The Mesh took on Dot in the first of the finals and, after a hard fought battle that swang in favour between the two throughout, it was the former who triumphed on the very last bowl.
Dot then faced Dr Rock in another very close contest, with Dot coming through this time winning by the odd point.
The final game between The Mesh and Dr Rock saw the latter start off brightly by winning a superb couple of ends. However, a long, hot day finally took it’s toll on the veteran and The Mesh managed to win the next six ends to triumph and retain the title he won last year.
Overall a great day out with some high quality bowls on show leaving all players eagerly looking forward to the Phuket Pairs Tournament next month.
