The mens final had an absolutely enthralling finish with Hayden George, Brett Kenley & Aaron Franklin fighting it out for the title. With 1 game to go, Aaron held a 15 pin lead from Brett with Hayden a further 7 pins away in third. Just to add to the tension, Aaron was playing Hayden on lanes 11 & 12 with Brett playing Mark Vaas on 9 & 10. At some stage during the final game each bowler held the lead and coming into the 10th frame there was still only just a few pins seperating the top 3.
Hayden stayed clean to beat Aaron 188 to 172. All attention then turned to Brett who was holding a slender lead going into the last frame. Brett had a turkey going and only needed to close the frame with a high count to win the match and the title. The ball went just a little wide of his target and didn't quite make it back to the pocket for a 1 2 4 6 10 split. Brett's attempt to convert the spare only just missed leaving the 10 pin standing and left him with a 191 to his opponents 194. It was an unbelievable finish and congratulations to Hayden for coming through under extreme pressure to take out his 1st Adult Masters title.
In the ladies final, Debbie Bowtell overcame strong competition from Kassey Fechner to eventually win by 65 pins. Debbie's win completed a clean sweep of Masters events for the year by winning the 4 Area Masters titles and the State final - GREAT EFFORT DEB.
