In the Semi Finals Daniell defeated Balow 9-8 and Jolly won 13-6 against Boraston.  Jolly won the final 10-3.

The pairs followed with only 6 pairing taking part due to late withdrawals.  In the Quarter Finals Dennis Shorthouse & Richard Kerr (Landrake) defeated Caroline & Alan Trubshaw (Duloe) 14-3.  Nicholas Truscott (Holmans) & Rita Hancock (Blisland) defeated Nathan Waters & Luke Jolly (Holmans) 13-7.

The Final was closely fought with just 11 shots scored in the 9 ends played.  McCormack & Payne opened up a 5-1 lead by the end of the four end before four consecutive scores of one brought the scores level at 5-5 going into the last end.  In a tense finale Payne took the deciding shot with the final bowl of the game to win 6-5.

This coming weekend sees a break in local events with the English Short Mat Bowling Association tournament at TLH in Torquay.

The first competition of the 2021/22 season locally takes place the following weekend with the Four Wood Pairs at Carnmoggas.
