Pryce roared out of the blocks and raced into a 9-3 lead before Taylor could really get a foothold in the match.

However Taylor then took six ends in a row to move into a 13-9 lead before Pryce won the jack back and with some precision bowling ran out to a 21-13 victory.

Next was the Foxton Novices Cup which saw Simon Walker playing Brian Dalby.

It was neck and neck in the early stages with Walker just holding the advantage at 13-10.

However Dalby then got the jack and took five ends in a row to go 16-13 ahead.

The game went to and fro and was sat on a knife edge at 20-20. Dalby put up a superb lead that Walker couldn’t beat and took the trophy with a 21-20 victory.

in the Maltby Ladies Cup final between Caroline Watson and Jo Gates, Caroline took a slight early advantage but after 19 ends it was 13-13.

Jo then edged into a 17-15 lead and bowled some superb woods at the finish to take the cup 21-15.

The last final of the night was the Russell Over-65s Cup which brought Pryce back to the green to face Pete Charter.

Pryce got off to a great start and after 17 ends found himself 17-5 in front.

However Charter then found a length and came back in sight but was 19-15 down.

Two precision Woods from Pryce wrapped the game up 21-15 and walked away with his second trophy of the evening.
