Sunday Morning November 9 saw the Semi Finals of the Prestige Singles Elimination played. Shane Beechey won through by a forfeit, the other game was between Dale Smith and Anthony Bull. This game was a very entertaining game of bowls to watch. Dale and Anthony were level for the first 11 ends going shot for shot, it was at this juncture that Dale found his range and put on an exhibition of precision draw bowls, opening a substantial lead one Anthony was unable to breach even though he never gave up trying. Dale went on to win the Semi Final 25 – 15 over 29 ends.
Sunday Afternoon November 9 saw the Final of the Elimination Singles played between Shane Beechey and Dale Smith. This shaped up to being a tight contest. Shane started with a bang opening a handy lead, Dale set about closing the gap striving to reproduce his form the mornings game, this he was unable to achieve. Shane kept up his relentless pressure producing precision draw shots and accurate drive shots to shut Dale out and go on to win the Final 31 – 16 over 29 ends. Congratulations Shane for becoming the 28th player for the Prestige Singles, this completes the field, more information on the Annual Carnival as it draws nearer.

Dan opened an unassailable lead of his own and closed out the game 31 – 15 over 26 ends.

Also played was a Major Singles game and that was between Col Stanley and Barry Presnell. Col has been out of bowls for a while however he has not lost any of his guile and he really put it to Barry.
