The final between Demons and Zimmers was nip and tuck all the way, with Demons leading by six pins as the last pairs came to the alley. However, Demons last pair got off to a bad start, letting the lead slip away after just two ends, and a captain’s innings of 38, by David Lord, secured victory for Zimmers 175-164, and thus completed a league and cup double for Zimmers.

Trophies were presented at the halfway stage in the evening which has been reported separately.
