County Singles - On Sunday at Kirkcudbright 19 players went into the hat for the County Singles draw, and after some very close games the semi finals turned out to be all Castle Douglas affairs between Graeme Maxwell and Will Green, and Alan Davies and William ‘Buff’ Brydson.  Graeme trailed Will early thanks to some good running bowls from Will which turned several heads in his favour.  Graeme went ahead with a 3 to make it 9-8 but then lost a 3 and 4 to trail 15 - 9.  He failed to bridge the gap and Will ran out winner 21 - 14.

Buff trailed 13 -2 early in the game but fought back strongly with some excellent draw shots to get back to 14 - 10 down.  He continued the comeback to level the game at 19 each.  With the tie in the balance Alan lay 2 on the next end.  Buff attempted to trail the jack to lie the 2 shots he needed, but he narrowly missed, leaving Alan the victory.
