Steven Cain led the way as the only player to have won both of his first 2 games and although hes lost his final game he was able to make it through courtesy of his superior shots.

Final
Steven took the advantage early on with his relentlessly accurate drawing. Taking the first 4 ends he accumulated a seven shot lead with just 3 ends to go. Although Tom was able to win the next 2 ends he could only get the score back to 7-3 with an end to go. With Steven needing to do no more than ensure that he didn't drop all 4 shots and Tom forced to attack, Steven won the end to take the title with an 8-3 win.
Winner - Steven Cain
Runner-up - Tom Runnacles

Cockfield led the way with 2 games played, having won one and drawn one, a point ahead of their final opponents Brockey. A point for Cockfield would see them through while Brockley needed to win and keep an eye on Withersfield. As it was Withersfield came home with a healthy win while Brockley were just ahead in their game. And it all came down to the final wood. Brockley were holding 4 and needed 3 shots to go through and so needed the jack to stay where it was, Cockfield needed to move the jack to give themselves 3 shots for a draw and Withersfield needed the jack to be anywhere else other than where it was. In the end Cockfield missed the shot and Brockley were through with one shot to spare.

Final
Much as expected the final was an extremely close battle. The first 4 ends were shared with just a shot scored on each, with the break coming in the 5th end as Blakeham scored 2 shots to give themselves just a little breathing room. And it turned out to be enough. Brockley took the penultimate end, but only with a single shot and so trailed by one going into the last end which Blakenham took to win 6-3 and give Steven Cain his second title of the day.

This was the most closely contested group of the day with everything resting on the final round of games, prior to which all the teams had won one and lost one and were covered by just 2 shots. As a result the fate of the group was always going to be a close call, but a five shot haul for Brockley, halfway through their final game was what sealed the match and the group for them.

As the only team to have won both of their opening pair of games, Belstead were in pole position to qualify, having accumulated a healthy shot lead over their closest opponents. As a result they qualified despite losing their final game, finishing the best of 3 teams in the group who had all won 2 games and lost 1.

Final
Another close final but it was one in which Brockley were never in arrears, even if they were never comfortably ahead as Belstead held their own throughout. Brockley took 2 on the first end and while Belstead were on level terms 2 ends later, Brockley then won the next 2 ends to take a 2 shot lead. Belstead had the lead back down to a single shot with an end to go, but Brockley were able to maintain their advantage, taking the last end to win 5-3.

The first end of the final saw the jack pushed to the corner of the mat, opening up the opportunity for either team to take the end and whilst Cockfield had their chances it was Barking that took the end with 2 shots. The second end saw Cockfield holding 4 shots until Barking's last wood came in to hold, however that wood was sitting a little wide and a bold shot from Cockfield took Barking's out and sat in to take 5 shots and a 5-2 lead.

The third end had Barking holding one shot, but this time Cockfield's boldness did not pay off and they sent in another Barking wood to give the opposition 2 and bring the score back to 5-4. After that the momentum was very much with Barking, they took 2 shots on the fourth end to regain the lead, a further shot on the next end and another on the penultimate end to go out to an 8-5 lead. For Barking it was then simply a matter of controlling the last end, and they did just that, making sure that they gave away just a single shot to finish 8-6 winners.
