2 shots to set up a tense finish. With Elise holding the last bowl to be played Peter lay a
match winning count of 3, but Elise held her nerve to push one of Peter's bowls out and
fall in off it to take 1 shot and with it her first individual title with a final score of 7-4.

YOUR PHOTOS

Can I give a reminder please about photos. I can only
reproduce reasonable in focus photos and will NOT
generally print photos without a report. Make sure
you get people to pose for your photo and not just
take them on the fly, as you can see with the photo
on the left, which doesn’t really show anybody
As to a report it’s easy enough, just send me the
semi-final and final cards with all the names including Christian names and who’s who in each
photo, OR (preferably), if you want to write your own report with additional details please do so
as it will be very welcome. The bottom left photo speaks for itself but I can darken it.
The photo bottom right is out of focus. I can “work” some photos so don’t be put off sending
one in and I will see what I can do. Also, check the background and do not have a window behind
the players as the light from it fools most cameras and nothing in the background “growing” out
of someone’s head!
