It was a three-way tie for most wins between Don Punter, Peter Bisiker and Ernie Berrow. Spare Harry Ross pinned a 174 in his match again Harry Vanheerwaarden, but was unable to double out before the undefeated Eagle Eye player. Harry Vanheerwaarden showed no mercy for his opponents, winning all of his singles matches while only hitting one 100 score all night. Proof again that it’s not what you throw in the middle, but what you throw at the end that counts. Arless McNeill and Alan Barry supplied three wins each to the team totals, with Arless topping the scores with a 130 and 125. The match was tied 16-16 as Don Punter and Sue Barry stepped up to the oche for the final match of the night. Heavy hitting Don bested his opponent to win the deciding match of the night. Nail biting finish for sure!
