There was some top bowling all day that culminated with a final contested by Borough’s Andy Adamson and North Cliffs Danny Cooper who played Whitby’s Geoff Watson and Paul Morgan.

It was a very tight game which Adamson and Cooper just kept their necks in front all the way through eventually running out 21-16 to be the first names on the new cup.
