There were many high quality matches from the initial rounds with Dave playing Pete Dennis then Mark Wilkie in the quarter final (31/29) and Marty Mills in the semi final (31/26) and Scott up against Brendan Revell (33/29), then Stewart Bagnall in the quarter final and Sam Rees (31/26) in the semi final.

On Saturday 30 August Scott, playing his first Singles final, settled into his game quickly winning 6 of the first 8 ends to lead 12/2.

Dave then found his length and won the next 5 ends closing the score to being just behind 12/9.

Scott continued with great draw bowls but Dave kept up his fight producing consistent beautiful bowls to turn the score around and after 25 ends was leading 25/18.

Dave, after being Runner Up in this event a number of times, maintained the pressure to secure his first Club Champion title winning 31/22.
