The Final was then played Saturday afternoon, with Team Isaac meeting Team Cooke. Dean Gemmell replaced super sub Paul Cini. It was an incredibly close contest, with Team Cooke grabbing an early lead. After 17 ends, Team Cooke led 17-9, but then Team Isaac won the last 5 ends to snatch a one shot victory 18-17. What a nail-biter! Congratulations to all the finalists for a great display of bowls.
