THE Final of the Club Minor Singles was played on Sunday 10 April and it was an entertaining and enthralling game of bowls with Steve Blayden lining up against Rod Cue.

On the 10th end Steve was behind by 6-16 shots.

Things were not much better by the 21st end when he still trailed by 16-24 shots.

He then produced a run of outstanding bowls to be one shot behind on the 25th end 23-24 shots.

As often happens in the game of bowls, luck decided the next end when Steve moved the kitty towards his bowls only to see it stop closer to one of Rods bowls giving him the shot he needed to take the Title 25-23 shots.

An exciting game applauded by the numerous spectators present.

Some remaining first round games in the Major Singles were also played, results were: P. Darr 25 def. R.Lentini 21, G.Ferguson 25 def. D.Ward 20, Billy Smith 25 def. A.Clements 24. 2nd Round Matches: G.Ferguson 25 def. P.Walsh 6, D.Tinsley 25 def. T.Smith 14, J.Price 25 def. R.See 7, R.Hadley 25 def. S.Stawski 21.
