                                                            whilst  Joan  Northcott,  Des  Seymour,  Richard

                                                            leaving both teams on the same plus.
                                                                  The  2-Bowl  Singles  was  again  very  hotly
                                                            contested with  John Lawes and Mel Bowen fight-
                   Singles finalist Mel Bowen
                  and champion John Lawes                   ing their way through to the final, in which John
                                                            Lawes emerged as the Victor.
                    Both Triples Semi-finals were somewhat one-sided with Eunice Thompson, Richard and
              Maria Kitchener through to face Arnie Jaffe, Irene Roberts and Eve Collingridge in the best of
              10 ends final. The latter trio opened up with a four on the first end and three ends later they
              were leading 7 - 0. At this point Eunice, Richard & Maria seemed to step up another gear and
              scored a three and then a stunning 5 to go into the lead.
                    They followed this up with three singles and a two to lead 13 - 7 going into the last end.
              A full house six was needed by Arnie, Irene & Eve but they could only manage a two to leave
              Eunice Thompson, Richard and Maria Kitchener as 13 - 9 Champions.
                    As with the Triples both semi-finals were one-sided affairs with Val & Brian Latham along-
              side Richard & Maria Kitchener, who were looking to make a double win to add to their Triples.
              However, Val & Brian had other Ideas and led 6 - 0 after just two ends. Richard & Maria fought
              back with three singles to cut the deficit but at this point Val & Brian struck with a three and
              then a single to give them an unassailable lead and with it the Pairs Title.
