The final produced some good draw bowling on a well-manicured 14 second green with The Entrance's Mark Jennings taking it up to his more experienced opponent in Lee Trethowan and Peter Whitfield not allowing iInternational champion Aron Sherriff to dictate the tempo of the game.

The Entrance lads were right in the game leading 13-10 after 12 ends.

After 18 ends The Entrance were well still well in touch only trailing 17-19 but a weighted shot by The Entrance skip Peter Whitfield cut the jack into a group of Ettalong's bowls to drop a costly six shots to seal the game in favor of the Ettalong pair.

At the presentation Aron acknowledged Lee Trethowan's outstanding form right throughout this event and congratulated Peter and Mark in taking the final right down to the wire.
