Sunday morning saw the final of the major singles with our two vocal entertainers Aaron Kelly and Jason Cassidy taking to the green to battle for the honour board. Kelly jumped out of the barrier winning the first seven ends to take a 10-0 lead before Cassidy settled the nerves and started to draw shots but after 16 ends the score was locked at 14 all. From here Aaron wandered around the green and the park while Jason kept drawing shots and getting the upper hand winning 31-23 in a great game of bowls from both players.
