It was a superb week of high quality bowling especially, as expected, in the later rounds even though conditions were at times difficult because of occasional gusty winds and showers.

The tournament culminated with some closely contested finals, including the men’s singles where Trevor Logan (White Rock) edged out Michael Stone (Bexhill BC) 21-19. Alec Martin (Horam BC) and Stone pipped Ken Bones and Trevor Roberts (both Rosemount BC) 17-16 in the men’s pairs.
