Mat 3 saw a close game which ended with Peter Jablonowski beating John Beadle of Hemsby Beachcombers 7-5. On Mat 4, Alan Marker from Beachcombers had a comfortable win 10-3 against Mike Harvey. The two Woodbastwick Owls players Derek Sheldrake and Peter Jablonowski were drawn against each other in the Semi-finals, which produced another close match, Derek Sheldrake just pipping his fellow Owl by one shot. Sandra Tungate won the other Semi-final, beating Alan Marker 8-5. An excellent Final was enjoyed by all the supporters, it could have gone to either bowler, but in the end Derek Sheldrake of Woodbastwick Owls came away with a well deserved winner’s trophy.
