Division One
The third rink had Nigel Cansdale (Cirencester) against Lee Elliott (Frampton). Lee started strongly, quickly building up a healthy lead but Nigel and his team recovered so that Lee was only 11 shots ahead when the last end started.
Nigel therefore needed four shots on the end to draw the match which, with his last wood, Nigel achieved by promoting a bowl.
Lee, however, had the last bowl and managed to draw for third wood to give Frampton the victory by two shots.
