A respectable crowd watched this years Championship Final between The Favourite,Dougie Twaddle and The Underdog,Tommy Docherty. The early stages of the game were close,with both players playing some fine bowls. By the 9th end,Tommy had his nose in front by 7 shots to 6. However in the 10th end,Dougie took advantage of  some slack bowling from Tommy,to gain a "fullhouse of 4 Shots" to make the score 10-7  This un-expected 4,gave Dougie a lift and he further increased the lead with a 2 in the 11th and 13th ends with Tommy only gaining a single shot in the 12th..With the score now at 14 - 8 to Dougie it looked as if it was only a matter of time before he gained the shots to put the game from beyond Tommys reach. However Tommy refused to give up and kept fighting to remain in the game,but he could not reduce the gap that had Dougie had now built up.With the score at 18 -10 to Dougie the game looked over,but Tommy gained single shots in the next 4 ends to put some pressure on Dougie.In the 23rd end Tommy was really piling on the pressure and was lying 3 shots which would have reduced Dougies lead to a single shot,however Dougie then played the shot of the match with a inch perfect draw to the Jack and gain 1 shot to make the score 19 - 14. Tommy fought back with another single shot in the 24th end,however he was mighty unlucky in what turned out to be the final end,when he gave the shot away when lying and Dougie drew the other shot that he required to win the match 21 Shots to 15.
