In the Bowral v Robertson match in the pairs, it revealed just how close the teams were.
Russell Fahey, Paul Leverett and Josh Woodcock defeated Christine Wortley, Phil Vaughan and Brian Robinson 8-6 and 8-7.
Robertson had a massive win in the pairs with Mick Frost and Graeme Tutt upsetting the Bowral pair of Jim Neely and Stephen Della 9-8 and 9-7.
How close the matches worked out over the four weeks showed there are several top lawn bowlers in the shire.
And this could mean that come Pennant season in 2019 that all three local teams will have the opportunity to shine.
Once again congratulations to Robertson for winning the trophy for the first time.
