already scored 4. A halt was called to the game with an end still to go, and the lads holding an un-
beatable 8-1 lead.
Ian Clark & Carl Pearson were off to a strong start against Neil Jolly & Jim Goodrich, and led
4-1 with 4 ends played. But Neil & Jim came on strong at the end, they levelled the game on the 5th
end, picked up another 3 on the next, and finished off with 2 on the last to win 9-4. The closest game
of the round saw Stuart McNeil & Lisa Edmead lead early on, but Peter & Sue Jones come back and
lead for the first time, going into the final end, 4-3. But it was Stuart & Lisa that came out on top,
taking 2 at the end, to win 5-4.with a 2, and sealed victory with another 2 on the last, to win 9-6.
In the final, Suffolk’s Stuart McNeil & Lisa Edmead faced Sunderland’s Steven Wilson & Martin
Campbell. This was a repeat of last year's final, which saw Stuart & Lisa take the win, but very quickly
the result looked as if it was heading in the opposite direction this year, as Steven & Martin picked
up 4 on the 2nd end, to lead 5-0. Stuart & Lisa chipped back a couple of shots over the next 2 ends,
before the lead went back out to 4 shots, with 2 ends to go. However Stuart & Lisa gave themselves
a chance with 2 on the penultimate end. They'd need at least 2 on the last end, but while they won
the end, they were restricted to just the one shot, as Steven & Martin held on to a 6-5 victory, and
take revenge for last year's defeat.
