What a cracking game it was with up until four ends to go with Healesville and Bayswater going up against eachother in the grand final played at Mitcham.
It was going to be tough to beat Bayswater, but right from the start of the game Healesville put down some good bowls to keep ahead of their rivals and at the tea break Healesville went in with a 10 shot break. After the break Healesville continued to draw away and had a break of 19 shots with 12 ends to go, but then nerves, pressure or a will to win by Bayswater saw them slowly come back until with four ends to go the game was level until we dropped a number and they hit the front winning by 13 shots 53 – 66. Well done Bayswater, a good effort and better luck next year.
Len Cosson, Gerry Gommers, Colin Jarvis, Judy Veermann 16 – 16
Mike Adams, Damian Key, Glenda Graham, Jodie Ward 20 – 26
Rob Broadhurst, Anne Holland, John Fitzpatrick, Len Stewart 17 – 24
