Men’s Club Championship Minor Singles Final: Was a ripper as expected as the two best performers battled it out with Neville Atkins taking out the event over Mathew Higgins in front of a pretty good crowd. The game was entertaining and close at 20 all after 21 ends when Nev did a Winx and finished strongly to get to the required score of 31 points. Well done to Mathew on making his second consecutive Minor Singles Final.
