The first game was between Ian Simmonds and Dan Tisdell. Dan led for most of the game and at one stage led by five shots on the 17th.
Ian played very good bowls just to stay in contact and by the 26th end the score was 22 all. Ian was too good in the end, and won 33 to 23 on the 33rd end - well done.
The other game was a close affair between Paul Baker and Peter MacKay. Peter got off to a flyer and led 19 to 10 on the 19 the end.
But from then on, Paul found his mojo and by the 29th end had hit the front. In the end Paul was too good winning 33 to 26 on the 35th end. Well done Paul.
