The Millicent Bowls Club held its Men’s Championship Fours on Sunday.
All games up to the grand final were played over 15 ends and the grand final over 18 ends.
The two teams winning their way into the grand final after claiming the preliminary finals were Peter Scanlon (skip), Steve Carnellor, John Buhlmann and Bill Davis and Kym Stewart (skip), Aaron Emonson, Steven Skeer and Eddie Hann.
By the fifth end, the Scanlon team was five shots up and the score was eight to three.
However, the Stewart team had pegged back the margin by the seventh end, getting a five on that end to take the lead 11 to eight over the Scanlon side.
The Scanlon team then went on to win the next four ends taking the score to 14 all and by the 17th end the Scanlon side was up by two shots, 20 to 18, going into the last end.
On the last end, with only the skipper’s last two bowls to play, the Scanlon side was holding the end but Stewart was able to pick up the jack, giving his side three shots and the championship for 2022/23.
The final score was 21 to 20.
