Jill Carson and Judy Sheely 20 defeated Julie Kriss and Bev Murray 10. And Karen Heiniger with Di Pritchard 19 accounting for Joy Hurworth and Cheryl West 13, therefore the final next week, Wednesday 5th November will be Di and Karen versus Judy and Jill, best of bowls girls.

Two matches of Triples were drawn for the  Social players:

Val Smith,Ruth Redman and Bev Germon 15 defeated Liz Ivin, Jenny Burley and Jenny Stevens 11.
