Jill placed bowls around the kitty on most ends and Kevin drew some important shots when required which proved to be the winning combination defeating John and Jenny 23-18 to become another husband and wife team to take the championship trophy.
In the only game of the minor singles, Gary Moss defeated Kevin Burley with Gary taking out Kevin's shot bowls at the important stage of the match snatching victory 31-25 to advance to the second round.
