After what seems an age since the qualifying rounds the finals of this event got to be played on last Sunday. With a couple of late withdrawls and only two of the quarter finals needed to be played meaning the semi-finalists lined up as follows.Odie Walter vs Roger Gardiner and Steve Kirwan vs Paul Griffiths

Both semi finals proved to be close games with the Walter/Gardiner semi -final needing an extra end to separate them, being tied 19 all at the 18 ends after Odie just missed on collecting all 4 points needed to win the match in the last end. The extra End was won by Roger.
In the other semi final Steve quickly erased the 6 point handicap but Paul managed to match it with him right to the end, with Steve taking the win by 2 points with a two on the last end.
In the final Steve again quickly erased the 7 point handicap and was not halted in his scoring march, leading by 20-8 after 9 ends and the concession come from Roger after the 15th end when leading 26 -13.
Great effort from all concerned and good to see some more of our Juniors again contesting championship finals.
