Open Singles Final was played on Sunday the 22nd June between Doug Starr and Paul Gray, These two bowlers have been a model of consistency this season, with Paul and Doug featuring in many championship finals this year.

Doug shot out to an early lead, but as has been the case for most of the year, Paul managed to fight his way back and eventually came out on top 25-22. Congratulations to Paul on another victory and to Doug on yet another final.
