In ideal conditions both ladies played great bowls. It was a very close game with only a couple of shots, in some cases only 1 shot, difference between them throughout. Over the 34 ends played the score was level 5 times. On the 32nd end they were tied on 21, then Renette got a 1 on the 33rd end making it 22 - 21. There had not been many multiple scores, but Renette drew 3 lovely bowls on the 34th end to take out the match. What a great game which thrilled the many spectators who came to watch. A worthy final.

Winner: Renette Burgess
