Saturday morning saw the second round of Scroungers commence, with first round winners Tony Kelly, Mark Mawson, Peter Barratt, and Warren Mills.

The final was played between Warren Mills and Mark Mawson, with Mills winning on the last bowl by one point.

Saturday afternoon became the scene of an Australian origin game, with South Australia versing Queensland with a state versus State and mate versus mate attitude, with two teams of eight players per team changing after 10 ends.

Skipper Al Detry from Goolwa, South Australia ensured his team would take home the chocolates, comfortably winning both games.

Special mention to South Australian rep Jodie Pinder, Bob Ward and Graham Cowling.
