Wednesday afternoon saw 32 bowlers vying for the winner's prize which went to skipper Glen O'Brien who teamed up with Annette Pickering in a dazzling display of precision bowling to overcome visiting Skipper Liam Trotter and Jamie Strickland 38-14.
Saturday morning saw the final of Scroungers with this season's champion Chris Opie beating second place Rick Galea, and third place John Matterson .
Sunday afternoon saw 23 bowlers participating and it was a very productive afternoon and again it was skipper Warren Mills, whom has been in awesome form lately and directed his team of lead Mandy O'Brien and second Dawn Dowell.
Finally, it was wonderful to see Russell Jackson make the final 4 in the Champion of Champions Senior Singles at South Suburban Bowls Club which was won by Chris Gee from the Northern Beaches Club.
