 This
years Burkett Shield final was held at current district president Jim
Huntingdon's Roker Park green, the final was played on a fine evening
and following all the recent rain the green looked very lush but the
pace was good. The final was an all Roker affair as Roker Park's Fred
Lulham, Ernie Peacock and George Kerry faced Roker Marine's Lindsey
Smith, Pat Thomson and Peter Thomson, the early exchanges went to the
Roker Park trio as Kerry opened up a 4-1 lead, the Marine triple hit
back and scored 13-1 to lead 13-5, with the score at 13-8 the next end
proved a pivotal moment, with Kerry holding a count of four Thomson with
his last bowl converted it into a scoring single to go 14-8 ahead. With
ends running out the Marine triple kept things tight and went into the
final end 17-12 ahead, a count of five for Kerry was possible but it was
not to be and the final score was 17-13 to Thomson. This win means the
Marine club have lifted the Burkett Shields six times out of the last
seven years. |
