Shaun Cole, Martin Cinato & Connor Cinato, Kettering Miland Band BC beat Neville Bodily, Frank Craven & Trevor Spear, Northampton Whyte Melville BC 16-15 shots

The first few ends of this match were pretty tight with the core 4 each after 5 ends, and 8 each after 10 ends, but after dropping a single on the 11th end, the Midland Band trio scored a big 5 followed by a 2 for a 15-9 lead with 5 ends to play. Those 5 end got very tight and Connor ‘killed’ an end for the 3rd time when badly placed, and with 2 ends left his triple was 16-13 to the good, but Trevor and his men were in there battling, and picked up a single that then required them to get 2 or more on the last end. That end was played very well by Whyte Melville and when Connor went to bowl he was at least 2 shots down, but he was able to draw 2nd bowl for the victory by the smallest of margins.
