UNDER 25’s

During the afternoon eight of the counties young bowlers competed for the County Under 25’s title.  Group One saw all three of the County Squad members playing (Peter Hore, Elise Daniell and Luke Jolly) drawn to play each other and joined by Alice Grimshaw.  Luke started with an 11-2 win against Alice whilst Peter took a 10-4 win against Elise. The second round of games saw Elise defeat Luke 11-5 and Peter defeat Alice 10-3.  The final group games saw Elise confirm second place in the group with a 9-4 win against Alice and Peter claim the top spot with a 9-3 win against Luke.  The final group scores being Peter 6 pts +19 shots, Elise 4 +5, Luke 2 -3 and Alice 0 -21.

In Group Two Tom Westlake started with a 14-3 win against Sam Turpin-Brooks and Rob Price-Brind recording an 11-2 win against Addison Jolly.  The second round of games saw Tom edge past Addison 7-5 and Rob defeat Sam 11-1.  The final round of games saw Addison claim a consolation win, defeating Sam 14-1 and Tom claimed the group decider defeating Rob 15-5.  The final group scores being Tom 6 +23, Rob 4 +9, Addison 2 +2 and Sam 0 -34.

In the semi finals Peter defeated Rob 14-1 and Elise booked her place in the final with a 7-1 victory over Tom.  In the final Elise settled on the tricky mat better in the early stages opening up a 6-1 lead before a 3 on the penultimate end for Peter brought him back within 2 shots to set up a tense finish. With Elise holding the last bowl to be played Peter lay a match winning count of 3, but Elise held her nerve to push one of Peter's bowls out and fall in off it to take 1 shot and with it her first individual title with a final score of 7-4.
