First named team at home.

Castle Douglas completed the treble last night at Dalbeattie. In the Trophy Shop sponsored Top Ten Final they had a 8- 0 win over New Abbey. The weather was not very good but the players put on good display of bowling. In the Singles Steven Richardson and Keith Shuttleworth had a very close game, with Steven coming from behind to win 21 - 19. The Pairs was another very good game with some great bowling by all four players but Alan and Scott Davies were just to strong for Les and Neil Shuttleworth and won by 19 - 10. The triples was a very close match for the first 10 ends with only 10 shots scored at 5 - 5, but William Brydson, Stewart Gilmour and Allan Green eventually got the better of Oliver Clingan, Robert Bryden and William Mair. In the Fours the New Abbey rink of William Neville, Chris Scales, John Bigham and Alex Gibson were always going to find it difficult against the talent packed rink from Castle Douglas, Alan McLeod, Hugh Robertson, William Green and Stevie Conchar were convincing winners 22 - 10.

The only game they lost was the singles where Stevie Conchar lost 21 - 15, Stevie was 15 - 14 up with 14 ends played but then lost a 4 -1 - 2.  Alan Davies and Steven Richardson  had an excelent game in the pairs after 5 ends they were 5 -4 down but in the next 5 ends scored 13 shots to 1 and in the next 5 scored 9 shots to 1 and finnished winners by 28 - 10.  The triple of Tom Maxwell, Scott Davies (who arrived on time for the bus) and William Green  had a very tight game with only 18 shots scored in 15 ends. They led 4 - 1 after 5ends, & 7 - 5 after 10   and the game finnished 9 - 9. The rink of Allan Green, Stewart Gilmour, Hugh Robertson and Chris Coates were level after 5 ends at 5 - 5 but ere 12 - 8 down at 10 ends and were still dehind after 15 ends at 16 - 14 but a 1 and 2 in the last 2 ends saw them win by a shot at 17 - 16.
