The match of the day was between Gary King and Barry Smith.

The first five ends was one-way traffic for Barry as he piled on seven points to two.

With the green running a touch heavier than normal, Barry got his line and length early while Gary was struggling to judge the speed and width of the green in the early part of the game.

For the next five ends both players shared the points with Barry still holding a five point lead after 10 ends leading 11 to six.

Gary, desperate to stem the tide, hit back over the next out-scoring six points to two to trail 12 to 13.

Barry regained his rhythm, striking back 10 points to six to once again lead by five after 25 ends, but Gary was not finished yet as he produced an almost flawless effort over the next five ends to take the lead 26 to 25 after 30 ends.

From that point on Gary was never headed as he went on to win 31 points to 27 to progress to the final.

The other semi-final had a lot of similarities to the first semi, finding the line and the speed of the green from the start, Mike shot out to a seven-nil lead after six ends before Nathan could counter with the next four ends to level the scores seven all after 10 ends.

By now Nathan had his eye in with some pinpoint bowling to jump out to a 16-8 lead and looked like careering away to a quick victory.

Mike was not done with yet, as he hit back, scoring six to two to trail 14 to 18 after 20 ends.

Then the class of Nathan showed, as each time Mike would draw close to the jack Nathan with his straight bowling would take Mike’s bowl out of play. Mike tried to play Nathan’s line but Nathan would counter every shot that was played.

In the end Nathan went on to win the match 31 to 17 and goes on to meet Gary King in the final.

Unfortunately the final will be delayed, as Nathan is involved in a district singles championship, which takes precedence over club championships.
