Norman & Ken were always in control of their semi final swiftly moving into a 16 - 3 lead and then 20 - 7.    Gordon & Geoff staged 
a mini fight back to 12 before the White Hart pair clinched victory.
In the second semi final John & Tonyalthough mainly scoring in singles and with John playing a number of crucial last
bowls and having the luck you need in doubles were always in charge of the game finally winning to 13
The Final saw the White Hart pair use the corners very effectively going 5 - 0 up, John & Tony shortened the length and
close the gap to 5 - 7 before Norman & Ken used the corners agin with a run of 8 shots.   John & Tony shortened the length
and took the next 5 ends although only single shots to get to 12 before Norman and Ken clinched victory.
Life Vice President Brian Parkinson thanked Alcester for the use of their green and providing refreshments before Merit Committee
Member Graham Thomas comiserated with Tony & John saying that the match was far closer than the score showed as there
were only one 3, five 2's and 20 singles on the card and presented the winners with the Doubles Trophy.
