THERE was a thrilling climax to the final of the indoor 4-3-2 KO competition at Southend Bowls Club.

The final was between Billericay and Bournemouth Park out of an original entry of 16 teams. The pairs was won by Bournemouth Park and the fours by Billericay, meaning everything depended on the outcome of the triples rink.

Going into the final end Bournemouth Park had a one shot lead, but the Billericay number one (lead) planted two brilliant woods right on the jack.

Despite efforts to fire off the woods Billericay scored two shots to win the game by one shot and the match by two rinks to one. Presentations were made by Southend president Eileen Fowler.
