The Millicent Bowls Club ran the men’s Handicap Singles competition on Saturday.

A total of 26 members took part in the competition with all games being played over 21 ends. On the first day the competition went down to the completion of the Preliminary Final, with Peter Scanlon taking on Wayne Ross in one game and both handicaps equal at four shots each. In this game, by the 19th end, both players were all square but Ross was able to hold on winning the last two ends and qualifying for the Grand Final.

In the second game, John Scudds (pictured) played Peter Varcoe.

Scudds had to give his rival two shots and once again by the 19th end scores were tied.

But Scudds also won the last two ends to take him into the Grand Final.

In the decider Scudds took on Ross and the pair started the game with equal handicaps. At the ninth end Scudds was only two shots up on Ross.

But then Scudds was able to win eight of the next 10 ends, to give him the Handicap Singles Title for 2021/22 Season.
