Patrick Mann went into the
final set of games with a 2 point advantage over his only remaining
rival Anne Hathaway and only needed a draw to qualify.
Unfortunatley Patrick was unable
to maintain his good form, losing heavily while Anne came through
with a comfortable win to take the group by a margin of 7 shots.
Final
The game started well for Anne, although the ends were close
she had a 3-1 lead with only 3 ends left to play. However Trevor
blew back into the game with all 4 shots on the 5th end and followed
that up with 3 on the next to give himself an unassailable lead.
Although Anne took the final end the game was already over by
that point with Trevor winning 8-6.
Winner - Trevor Cain (Gt Blakenham)
Runner-up - Anne Hathaway (Hundon)

With a game to go everything
hung on the result of the Cockfield/Brockley game, but with a
big shot advantage Cockfield would need just a draw to go through.
However an emphatic win for
Brockley lifted them to the top of the group, ahead of Nayland
who, despite not losing on the day, could only manage 4 points.

Going in to the final games
the fate of the group hung on the result of the game between
Knodishall and Gt Blakenham. With a 1 point advantage a draw
would be enough for Knodishall.
In a close fought game Knodishall
held the advantage right up until the very final wood which with
a perfect draw took the shot and the game for Blakenham to move
them into the final.
Final
The final score might have made the game look close, but in truth
Gt Blakenham, as well as being in the lead throughout were also
in control for pretty much the duration of the game. They were
5-1 ahead after 4 ends and after that needed to do no more than
cover off the opposition which they did, taking a 6-3 win to
retain the title.
Winners - Steven Cain & David Ford (Gt Blakenham)
Runners-up - Neil & Keith Jolly (Brockley)

Any one of 3 teams could win
the group with a game to play. Barking held a 1 point lead, but
a loss to Knodishall would open the door for either that team
or Gt Blakenham to overhaul them.
And that was what happened.
Knodishall won their final game, but Blakenham's win and their
shot advantage saw them home by 4 shots.

Brockley and Old Felixstowe
were on 3 points with a game to go, but Barking were just a point
behind and could also take the group.
Although Barking won to take
themselves ahead of Brockley, Old Felixstowe also won and that
gave them the group by a point.
Final
Unfortunately for Old Felixstowe the final was over almost before
it had started. Blakenham put 3 shots on the board on the first
end and compounded that with another 4 on the next to lead 7-0
with only 2 ends down. A brief glimmer of hope came for Old Felixstowe
on the third as they snathced back 4 shots to now trail by just
3. However the advantage still lay with Blakenham and they didn't
let their opposition get any closer to them, taking a shot on
each of the next 3 ends to put them 6 ahead with just an end
to go. Old Felixstowe took the consolation of winning the final
end, but it was not enough as Blakenham took the game 10-6 to
complete a clean sweep of the Finals Day's trophies.

Andy Pooley, Christine & David Mittell (Gt Blakenham)
