0:00:30 > 0:00:33Monday was the first televised day of the 2012 World Championship at
0:00:33 > 0:00:38Potters, but if fans were expecting a leisurely day of entertainment
0:00:38 > 0:00:42what they got was drama more befitting the big screen.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47The morning session saw tales of the unexpected as the leading man
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Paul Foster was dethroned by the kid. The talented Welsh youngster
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Rosso and was now starring in his own epic adventure. The mat and a
0:00:56 > 0:01:03performance showed the Lord of the blue rink as the set-aside their
0:01:03 > 0:01:06unexpected singles disaster to maintain the world pairs crown.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Then finely last night, it was back to the future as former world
0:01:10 > 0:01:14champion David Gourlay became the first player into the quarter-
0:01:14 > 0:01:18finals, a major boost for the Glasgow man who also appears in
0:01:18 > 0:01:22today's mixed pairs final. Welcome to Potters. We are all
0:01:22 > 0:01:25wondering what does this venue have in store for us today after the
0:01:25 > 0:01:30drama of yesterday? There is another trophy up for grabs in the
0:01:30 > 0:01:35final of the mixed pairs. Last year's mixed pairs final was an
0:01:35 > 0:01:38effort -- epic event with Simon Skelton and Alison Merrien pipping
0:01:38 > 0:01:45in a tie-break with Skelton producing one of the moments of the
0:01:45 > 0:01:55tournament. Simon Skelton with one bowl to win the mixed pairs mixed
0:01:55 > 0:01:57
0:01:57 > 0:02:02play championship. He is so close, That is what it means to him.
0:02:02 > 0:02:092012 will see new champions crowned. Paul Foster is a herd by Kerry
0:02:09 > 0:02:15Packwood. Foster has already tasted success in 2012 championships,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19retaining the pairs title with Alex Marshall. Can the World Number One
0:02:19 > 0:02:25and the young Welsh international find a similar form for their
0:02:25 > 0:02:30success? Their opponents are David Gourlay and Debbie Stavrou. They
0:02:30 > 0:02:34knocked out the reigning champions in their semi-final in a tense and
0:02:34 > 0:02:38close encounter so new winners are bound to be crowned in one of the
0:02:38 > 0:02:41most popular events at the final events.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45David Gourlay is the only one of the quartet to have appeared in the
0:02:45 > 0:02:49final mixed pairs before in fact he has won it twice. Paul Foster is a
0:02:49 > 0:02:52bid to become the first player since Tony Allcock in 2003 to win
0:02:52 > 0:02:56both pairs titles in these World Championships. David Corkill and
0:02:56 > 0:03:03John Price will be your commentators but first of all, here
0:03:03 > 0:03:07is your MC. MC: Leads welcome onto the rink our

0:04:42 > 0:04:50damage is done in pairs event. Debbie Stavrou and Kerry Packwood
0:04:50 > 0:05:00both well known to us. Both good players. A battle in front of two

0:05:17 > 0:05:47

0:09:16 > 0:09:25I think he will play a draw shot. Try to drop in behind? He has got a
0:09:25 > 0:09:35big bias bowl. They have a tendency to be conservative in the first end,

0:21:58 > 0:22:18
0:22:18 > 0:22:25because you can get off the green ball on to the jack. He needs to go

0:22:53 > 0:23:03Paul Foster to beat. David Gourlay will be absolutely delighted with

0:24:31 > 0:24:37bowls on the forehand. And then she moved back on to the backhand, a
0:24:37 > 0:24:47hand she has been struggling on. Interesting decision. Kerry

0:26:02 > 0:26:06know what it is like, it is hard to find time. How do you find time to
0:26:07 > 0:26:12practise? To be fair, we are very lucky with Kerry's mother to be in
0:26:12 > 0:26:22the house because she does a lot. She does a lot of helping in the
0:26:22 > 0:26:31house and looks after one we have So the family are here with you,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34supporting? I had to go back and carry's mother is here. And how has
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Kerry been because of this and she had to take time off the game for a

0:26:43 > 0:26:47back into the game. A bit of practice off but she has come back
0:26:47 > 0:26:54stronger and better, to be fair. How are you getting on with your
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Pep for the singles? I am shattered! I and done to practise
0:26:59 > 0:27:02for Thursday. You know I cannot lead to go without asking, who do
0:27:02 > 0:27:08you think will win? Are you pretty certain that Kerry will come
0:27:08 > 0:27:14through? She has started well and if you're lead plays well, it is
0:27:14 > 0:27:17easier for the skip but I think I will sit on the fence as to who
0:27:17 > 0:27:27will win. I will leave you with your daughter, such a cute little
0:27:27 > 0:27:30
0:27:30 > 0:27:34at the problem they face at the moment. Three second shots and one
0:27:34 > 0:27:44bowl against them. It looks like they will go all the little take
0:27:44 > 0:27:46
0:27:47 > 0:27:50out. A good shot, Dave. It removes the red. A big target. What they
0:27:50 > 0:27:55are looking at initially is that one and the other option is, if
0:27:55 > 0:27:58they want to come into this side and come across onto the red, it
0:27:59 > 0:28:03gives you the option. The backhand, you can play the same thing but it
0:28:03 > 0:28:09is up to Paul which he prefers. Either way, it is a very big result
0:28:09 > 0:28:12if you get it out clean. negative is he does not want the
0:28:12 > 0:28:16red bowl into the jack straight through the rink. That is the one
0:28:16 > 0:28:26negative. That is why I would play it on the forehand rather than
0:28:26 > 0:28:41
0:28:41 > 0:28:44line. He is on the wrong side of it. on the wrong side. The reaction
0:28:45 > 0:28:50from Paul Foster was enough to tell me he was a bit worried. You could
0:28:50 > 0:28:53see the connection. He could have moved to red but also have mood the
0:28:53 > 0:29:03jack as well so he is not too disappointed he did not get any

0:30:24 > 0:30:34really is. That makes the opposition think very, very
0:30:34 > 0:30:45
0:30:45 > 0:30:55carefully about what they are up Here it comes. It's just needs to

0:32:08 > 0:32:16turn a little bit. Encourage it everything. Very positive outlook,
0:32:16 > 0:32:24hasn't she, John? Yes, talking to every ball. But they have not
0:32:24 > 0:32:31started talking back yet! But she did it 100 %! Getting inside the
0:32:31 > 0:32:37green? This is pretty good, David. Oh, yes. At Edge was enough. This
0:32:37 > 0:32:47will get the treatment, we imagine, from Paul Foster. -- the edge was
0:32:47 > 0:33:07
0:33:07 > 0:33:16the green and rolled across and bad ball. If he gets that
0:33:16 > 0:33:23absolutely right, the reds should split away here. This one will go.
0:33:23 > 0:33:29And to the right of the picture. The middle ball should stay. It
0:33:29 > 0:33:36might only take out of the Count, probably two. But it depends how
0:33:36 > 0:33:42many greens disappeared. I think he will meet to use a lot of weight.
0:33:42 > 0:33:52He is drawing it. I think that is what he was worried about. But with
0:33:52 > 0:33:59
0:33:59 > 0:34:04three against? That was a hard shot, John. A bit disappointing for them.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10I can imagine that he thought the jack was moving. We could not see
0:34:10 > 0:34:16all the angles. If it was going, he would have been four down. That is
0:34:16 > 0:34:26the reason why. All of the balls were disappearing, he would have
0:34:26 > 0:34:36lost three anyway. The position closed weekends down. -- the end

0:36:25 > 0:36:32a four shot lead at the moment. He needs one him close. -- close. But
0:36:32 > 0:36:39he does not look happy about that. The line looks all right. But as he
0:36:39 > 0:36:49pushed it? That is a problem. He will have three against with his
0:36:49 > 0:37:05
0:37:05 > 0:37:11down. And again. Yes. Well played. That is a loose head but they are
0:37:11 > 0:37:17dangerous. We can see why David played that ball. If he gets on the
0:37:17 > 0:37:22side of the jack he might run the ball away. The best one for David
0:37:22 > 0:37:28is probably in the centre, it a couple of inches or behind. Any
0:37:28 > 0:37:33other and his opponent will attack. That is the problem with dropping
0:37:33 > 0:37:43the first one short. He has to be very open to lose the count. This
0:37:43 > 0:37:44
0:37:44 > 0:37:52is a different line. He had better have the extra weight. Well played,
0:37:52 > 0:38:02David. Just short of the jack Black grip. This is worth playing off. --
0:38:02 > 0:38:06beat jack. He will try and flicked the ball away. If he gets it right,

0:41:09 > 0:41:17past is good. Down to the green. That is pretty good but he is
0:41:17 > 0:41:26looking at the trail on the forehand. Where is the trail for
0:41:26 > 0:41:36the double? He is certainly in the area. It is all about the pick up.
0:41:36 > 0:41:48
0:41:48 > 0:41:54He does not need another close cover. He could get to the back.
0:41:54 > 0:42:03The jack goes out to the site, as Debbie says, they could be three
0:42:03 > 0:42:09down. The trouble here is that the single bowl in the head, if he let
0:42:09 > 0:42:14it and he takes a bolt out, if he pushes the red, he will get more.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19If he gets the jack, he will get two. It is a nightmare for David
0:42:19 > 0:42:25Gourlay. You were talking about something in this area. That would
0:42:25 > 0:42:30cover the back positioned. But the problem is that if he is bold
0:42:30 > 0:42:40disappears, this is where the difficulty is. The red would be in
0:42:40 > 0:42:47
0:42:47 > 0:42:54deep trouble. That goes away and he would be fortunate to get the other
0:42:54 > 0:43:03two. He is covering the deep position. He has gone further than
0:43:03 > 0:43:11I thought because that is well past. I think that actually secured the
0:43:11 > 0:43:21shot. What I was talking about was looking for the ball into the other
0:43:21 > 0:43:26
0:43:27 > 0:43:36two and clear everything. This is looking to get the other bowls.

0:47:15 > 0:47:25goodness, that was a difficult shot. It has left Paul Foster with a draw

0:47:25 > 0:48:07Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
0:48:07 > 0:48:17to the jack to turn it around and chance to touch the front ball but
0:48:17 > 0:48:20
0:48:20 > 0:48:30he needs to hurry. That might just be enough. Very faint movement on
0:48:30 > 0:49:05
0:49:05 > 0:49:12the red. That is hard to tell. Very, disappear or away from the head.
0:49:12 > 0:49:18Almost another. I do not think he expected that to hold up as much as
0:49:18 > 0:49:23it did. He nearly got a bit went and got that right down. It is
0:49:23 > 0:49:29going to be measured. Where is your money? The anything that would
0:49:29 > 0:49:36favour the green is that it is sitting down and bulging. It is
0:49:36 > 0:49:46better for the green ball. Normally the one on the belly always wins.
0:49:46 > 0:49:51That is the task. She always knew best. She has got a pretty good eye.
0:49:51 > 0:50:00Yes, better than mine. That has just dropped forward and I think
0:50:00 > 0:50:06that might have made a difference. Very close. And it is back. That
0:50:06 > 0:50:16was a good call. That is the way it works. The sitting Bull. That one
0:50:16 > 0:50:16
0:50:16 > 0:51:32Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
0:51:32 > 0:51:41That was a good first ball. She has got a chance to build on that now
0:51:41 > 0:51:48that Debbie has missed. Not much on before the jack length. They have
0:51:48 > 0:51:54got 32 %, Foster and Packwood it. But they are losing out on the
0:51:54 > 0:52:04shorter length. They are certainly showing that there. That is a good
0:52:04 > 0:52:34
0:52:34 > 0:52:39it is not a bad position for David Gourlay. The head is widespread. He
0:52:39 > 0:52:43is one of the best at the controlled weight shot. Paul Foster
0:52:43 > 0:52:51would like to play the backhand in this direction and he does not want
0:52:51 > 0:52:59to get close to that read. He might be forced to play the other side.
0:52:59 > 0:53:06He is persevering with the backhand. He is good. He has used a cover on
0:53:06 > 0:53:12the outside edge to help the ball back. Drifting, as I would call it.
0:53:12 > 0:53:16Drifting back at the end of the journey. Just outside the centre.
0:53:16 > 0:53:26think that was deliberate. It was passed the jack and he had a crack
0:53:26 > 0:53:27
0:53:27 > 0:53:37at that. I see what happens! Something might happen if you run
0:53:37 > 0:53:43into it, David, gas! An old favourite coming out of the bag.
0:53:43 > 0:53:50Forehand runner. It looks a bit high. It has got the edge. That has
0:53:50 > 0:54:00opened everything up. That jack will be spotted again bus-stop will
0:54:00 > 0:54:05
0:54:05 > 0:54:11he allow be shot? -- again. Will he allowed a shot. I expected him to
0:54:11 > 0:54:18draw be shot. Better from David's point of view. A good result from
0:54:18 > 0:54:28the point of view of a ball that looked like it was missing.
0:54:28 > 0:54:29
0:54:29 > 0:54:39looks good. Dead weight. Will David try and draw bits? Yes, exactly.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41
0:54:41 > 0:54:49Very close to the edge. He might have thought, if I give in to the
0:54:49 > 0:54:58site ditch, do not worry, Debbie. This will have to have the anchor
0:54:58 > 0:55:08out. It needs to stop. It needs to stop. Great effort. At that line
0:55:08 > 0:55:17
0:55:17 > 0:55:22had dropped through. -- perfect bit of a flier out there and it
0:55:22 > 0:55:29picks up the pace and it rolls all the way out. It was far enough away
0:55:29 > 0:55:39from the other that it would not have taken the other off the rink.
0:55:39 > 0:55:47
0:55:47 > 0:55:53David and Debbie is to get hold of the jack because they are winning
0:55:53 > 0:56:03everything below 27 metres. After 27 metres, it is pretty close. They
0:56:03 > 0:56:33
0:56:34 > 0:56:41are sharing it. Good start, Kerry. pretty good, Debbie. Well done.
0:56:42 > 0:56:47Both players are very firmly on the forehand. Not unexpected. They have
0:56:47 > 0:56:57had some good balls down here. They will be happy if this drops around
0:56:57 > 0:57:22
0:57:22 > 0:57:30Very generous, David. Not far away. She is wearing a lovely blue and
0:57:30 > 0:57:40grey today, Judy passer. And of course, the chairman of the Potters
0:57:40 > 0:57:50Leisure Club. You do not see her missing any matches. She has got a
0:57:50 > 0:57:56
0:57:56 > 0:58:01good seat there. She loves the chairman but he also loves his car
0:58:01 > 0:58:05and he has got a toy to play with that he wants to take me out him.
0:58:05 > 0:58:15It is a Porsche Turbo or something. I will look forward to that later
0:58:15 > 0:58:16
0:58:16 > 0:58:26in the week. A great man for the cars. Very close. Very close.
0:58:26 > 0:58:54
0:58:54 > 0:59:00would be good. Getting it solid close! Yes! He wanted it to stay up.
0:59:00 > 0:59:07He did not want to drop away. Very good ball by Paul Foster. And he
0:59:07 > 0:59:14has got the back positioned. It was a good at that. I thought he might
0:59:14 > 0:59:21just get past. But he has just lodged on that green. There is a
0:59:21 > 0:59:31possibility David Gourlay could get contact. If he get that last bowl,
0:59:31 > 0:59:39I think people get both. -- he will get. This is the run-up. Close.

1:00:17 > 1:00:27David. It was about five yards and it was not looking likely. You are
1:00:27 > 1:00:34
1:00:34 > 1:00:44almost better well away from the 29 metres. It has been very
1:00:44 > 1:01:07
1:01:07 > 1:01:15needs to carry just a bit further. Encouraged all the way. And -- the
1:01:15 > 1:01:19weight needs to carry. Very well done. We can see now that the
1:01:19 > 1:01:29Packwood and Foster have taken over the long success rate. They don't
1:01:29 > 1:01:47
1:01:47 > 1:01:57want anything less than 27 metres for the girls to be playing lead of
1:01:57 > 1:02:09
1:02:09 > 1:02:16course. They can play a lead or happy to play lead for one of these
1:02:16 > 1:02:26two players. They know all the shot in the book and all the experience

1:03:21 > 1:03:28Lovely, David. balls go? I think the two balls
1:03:28 > 1:03:35will go but I think the jack will go as well. Kerry said, run the two
1:03:35 > 1:03:45bowls, and he asked if they would go, and she said no. I think it is
1:03:45 > 1:03:56
1:03:56 > 1:04:06a draw shot. One will go and the ball, he just needs to add the
1:04:06 > 1:04:13
1:04:13 > 1:04:23weight. He does not like it, turns knew he was just under. Not much

1:06:21 > 1:06:26over the years he has refined Those as a person and he is still the man

1:09:17 > 1:09:26that wasn't too bad, because there's no way he is losing more

1:19:14 > 1:19:22be enough to win the set. An important ball. He is close to the

1:19:32 > 1:19:37
1:19:38 > 1:19:47Foster. The priority was to get the shot. Good weight, brushed off the
1:19:48 > 1:19:48
1:19:48 > 1:19:57if he plays a bit of weight at this. If he does get the jack, he goes
1:19:57 > 1:20:07all the way through with it. But if he gets the edge, he will probably
1:20:07 > 1:20:26
1:20:26 > 1:20:35lose the four. David Gourlay has to knows he is heavy. Certainly was
1:20:35 > 1:20:42not a position bowl. This is a nice trawl for Paul Foster. Turn the
1:20:42 > 1:20:52jack, four shot. He is just trying to draw another shot. If you get
1:20:52 > 1:21:13
1:21:13 > 1:21:23again. He needs to get on the edge of the jack, all he needs... Two
1:21:23 > 1:21:39

1:21:49 > 1:22:02
1:22:02 > 1:22:12Packwood could win otherwise we are Lang. Defies the statistics. Yes, a
1:22:12 > 1:22:17bit of a surprise. 24 metres. I can only imagine that that was a
1:22:17 > 1:22:22mistake on the delivery of the jack will stop for Kerry Packwood's sake,
1:22:22 > 1:22:32I hope it is not a fateful decision because if you played a loose end,
1:22:32 > 1:22:32
1:22:33 > 1:22:39you could drop the Treble. That is not bad but not really taken
1:22:39 > 1:22:49advantage. The only good thing for Carrey is the Paul Foster is one of
1:22:49 > 1:22:59
1:22:59 > 1:23:04Yes, and that is probably about as loose an end and she has had for a
1:23:04 > 1:23:14long time or possibly whole match. The change of length has got to do
1:23:14 > 1:23:16
1:23:16 > 1:23:26one to reach further. Definitely number two.
1:23:26 > 1:23:37
1:23:37 > 1:23:47think about this and get something outside edge, he will get nothing.
1:23:47 > 1:23:55

1:25:04 > 1:25:10
1:25:10 > 1:25:20mistake. That was an important ball further back. Disappointing that he
1:25:20 > 1:25:27
1:25:27 > 1:25:34was in reaching. -- that he was not it two now. Paul Foster knows that
1:25:34 > 1:25:41was a mistake. Which is the nearest green one? If I reach your bowl, do
1:25:41 > 1:25:48I Get a shot? Yeah, if you are turning it over, it would be...
1:25:48 > 1:25:52if I just draw. Yes, if you sit of it there. OK. Definitely going into
1:25:52 > 1:26:02a last end on this set. David Gourley knows this is an important
1:26:02 > 1:26:07
1:26:07 > 1:26:17ball. It is tense out there, isn't be a Gourlay farm. Time to look for

1:28:12 > 1:28:20happy for that single. I think he would have liked this one a bit
1:28:20 > 1:28:30wider though. Run! Don't go anywhere near it, Debbie, you don't
1:28:30 > 1:28:32
1:28:32 > 1:28:40want to be close to it. yards away but it has ended up
1:28:40 > 1:28:50but David did not want it anywhere close to the head and there's
1:28:50 > 1:29:08
1:29:08 > 1:29:11is that if you fall on that one, re-spot to the left of the picture,
1:29:11 > 1:29:21those balls the way they are sitting are covering the right hand
1:29:21 > 1:29:32

1:30:29 > 1:30:34
1:30:34 > 1:30:42be very close. I suppose he could squeeze the jack. -- Kerry. I am
1:30:42 > 1:30:49not sure. If he catches the side, it depends. He is looking between
1:30:49 > 1:30:53the green and the red to the back of the rink. I do not see much
1:30:53 > 1:31:00point as we look at it on the right hand spot, much point in covering
1:31:00 > 1:31:08that. We can see in the picture at the right hand spot is covered by a
1:31:08 > 1:31:15red background. The left-hand spot has got a grit lying second. That
1:31:15 > 1:31:22is probably the one that if he strikes, the jack could go through.
1:31:22 > 1:31:29Somewhere between them might be a good idea. It is pretty deep.
1:31:29 > 1:31:38difficult. I wonder how much of an effect this will have if it
1:31:38 > 1:31:44squeezes through. We have got one deeper. But can he get to it? I
1:31:44 > 1:31:50think he might decide to gave all that green. He is playing the
1:31:50 > 1:32:00backhand. He is going very deep. Staying well away. It is a
1:32:00 > 1:32:01
1:32:01 > 1:32:09championship point. My goodness, David. He is trying to block. The
1:32:09 > 1:32:18that is always a hard shot. He has got such scoring, it is difficult
1:32:18 > 1:32:22when he has got a bit of weight. -- swinging balls. That is the running
1:32:22 > 1:32:30ball that he would have played. He has got a full strike on the
1:32:30 > 1:32:35forehand. You can hear that he has mentioned running with the forehand.
1:32:35 > 1:32:41Getting a plaque on the green and getting inside. He is expecting to
1:32:41 > 1:32:49play with quite a bit of weight. This will almost be a full drive.
1:32:49 > 1:32:59Not an easy position. He has fought back very well in the second set

1:33:00 > 1:33:06but he faces championship with the last ball. Always in the area. He
1:33:06 > 1:33:10is very close to the jack. He has got it! And that is the back that
1:33:10 > 1:33:20you were talking about, John. He has squeezed that all the way
1:33:20 > 1:33:21
1:33:21 > 1:33:29through. Championship all. He saves the match and forces the tie-break.
1:33:29 > 1:33:39I always fancied that at the back. He was looking for the green or the

1:34:14 > 1:34:18He takes the double. I did not think the block was the right shot
1:34:18 > 1:34:28against Paul Foster but you already said the bank macro green was the

1:34:35 > 1:34:41going to be a good spot when it was so close to the back. A good end.
1:34:41 > 1:34:49Nobody did anything wrong. He has played the big shot. Game on in the
1:34:49 > 1:34:59tie-break. We are back to the long jack legs that carry it owes. She
1:34:59 > 1:34:59
1:34:59 > 1:35:09has not made a mistake this time. - - jack length that Carey refers. --
1:35:09 > 1:35:33
1:35:33 > 1:35:39it out into the open. I would play way Paul Foster reacted after that
1:35:39 > 1:35:47last bowl. He was really pleased about that. I think he was
1:35:47 > 1:35:53disappointed to lose the treble earlier. A good bowl again. They
1:35:53 > 1:36:01have played under slightly different rules. It does not matter
1:36:01 > 1:36:08how many you score, you just want to win the set. If you are lucky,
1:36:08 > 1:36:18it doesn't matter. I did not think this will get up. Not quite enough
1:36:18 > 1:36:18
1:36:18 > 1:37:01Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
1:37:01 > 1:37:11Kerry Packwood, always positive. Better luck next time. You would
1:37:11 > 1:37:11
1:37:11 > 1:37:21not be surprised to see David play the forehand draw. Always good on
1:37:21 > 1:37:26
1:37:26 > 1:37:32the forehand. Come on, David. Come on. Undercooked. A missed chance.
1:37:32 > 1:37:41He really wanted that. A tie-break. He wanted to put the pressure on
1:37:41 > 1:37:51Paul Foster. He has left him a chance to really nailed at jack. --

1:38:21 > 1:38:29back, the chances are that he is going to win best. If he gets the
1:38:29 > 1:38:34jack and runs off his ball, it will touch. That would be all right. If
1:38:34 > 1:38:40he gets that out, it is not good because he has got may be free

1:39:01 > 1:39:11not worry about the followed through, David. Jack first. Exactly.
1:39:11 > 1:39:32
1:39:32 > 1:39:36that he is talking about. He has stayed with it and that is indeed
1:39:36 > 1:39:46better. Brilliant from David Gourlay. Very good with the
1:39:46 > 1:39:48
1:39:48 > 1:39:52forehand. What a strike by David Gourlay. He does not miss many with
1:39:52 > 1:40:00the fore grip. A clean strike and he runs that right through. Great
1:40:00 > 1:40:08hit. He is explaining about be followed through. Do not worry
1:40:08 > 1:40:15about that. Just hit the target. you need a man to hit the target,
1:40:15 > 1:40:25David Gourlay is the man. Some good bowls being played. Big pressure

1:41:26 > 1:41:27
1:41:27 > 1:41:35of humour under pressure. How is that weight? A bit better. A
1:41:35 > 1:41:41tighter line. It was more about the pace. The line was good. I think
1:41:41 > 1:41:51that was a bit of pressure. A bit scrappy. Get yourself together.
1:41:51 > 1:41:54
1:41:54 > 1:42:04it lies. That was a much better line. -- pressure. That was a much
1:42:04 > 1:42:07
1:42:07 > 1:42:16better aligned. Excellent ball. And you have got the back one as well.
1:42:16 > 1:42:26A really good adjustment. And of course the two short bowls will not
1:42:26 > 1:42:35help David Gourlay. He will have to go for the four mack group. He has
1:42:35 > 1:42:45got to find a good line and length. -- beat forehand. -- the forehand.
1:42:45 > 1:42:46
1:42:46 > 1:42:53It sounds easy. It looks like it is struggling a little. Yes, it just
1:42:53 > 1:43:03looked like he was struggling a bit for the pace. He was hunting the
1:43:03 > 1:43:03
1:43:03 > 1:43:08inside line and he needed to be a bit quicker. That was his intention.
1:43:08 > 1:43:18But a good bowl from Paul Foster would be good. Down here would be
1:43:18 > 1:43:19
1:43:19 > 1:43:25excellent. He is saying, stop, stop because that narrows the target. It
1:43:25 > 1:43:35David gets to that, he could get it off. He will play a tight line.
1:43:35 > 1:43:36
1:43:36 > 1:43:42Probably one metre away. He will stay on the ball. That is the shot
1:43:42 > 1:43:52to play. A slightly narrow line and hope that it will drift back. If he
1:43:52 > 1:44:01
1:44:01 > 1:44:05overplays, it would just go Has he got the weight this time? He
1:44:05 > 1:44:15is just going under! Great effort. It's just did not have the extra
1:44:15 > 1:44:27
1:44:27 > 1:44:34he needed a bit more. Another half a metre at least, John. But it was
1:44:34 > 1:44:44a good effort. Another of that would have done it. -- and other
1:44:44 > 1:44:45
1:44:45 > 1:44:55foot to. -- a bit more would have done it. He has got more pressure
1:44:55 > 1:45:28
1:45:28 > 1:45:33changing the nappies today, Stewart Kerry Packwood. 29 metres. It has
1:45:33 > 1:45:37been a very good game of bowls. No doubt about that. The leaders have
1:45:37 > 1:45:42contributed to this match. We have had some great start and a lot of
1:45:43 > 1:45:52conversions. We have had the of the state to let us know that they are
1:45:53 > 1:45:55
1:45:55 > 1:46:05still human. -- a few mistakes. Great effort by Debbie Stavrou.
1:46:05 > 1:46:31
1:46:31 > 1:46:37wasn't it? Good effort, that. is all about scoring be shot for
1:46:37 > 1:46:43the championship. Just one more shot required from either pair.
1:46:43 > 1:46:53Stay high. He thinks it might bring the jack out into the open which he
1:46:53 > 1:46:57
1:46:57 > 1:47:02does not want! Well... That is a lucky. That might have been a good
1:47:02 > 1:47:12time to stay away. It does not look like it Obi easy from the other
1:47:12 > 1:47:12
1:47:12 > 1:47:21side. -- will be easy. It has also offered up the opportunity to drive.
1:47:21 > 1:47:29Before that it did not look possible. He was very unlucky to
1:47:29 > 1:47:36get into the jack with that ball. Paul Foster is very close here. A
1:47:36 > 1:47:46very, very close. He needs to stop. The anchor is out. He is holding up
1:47:46 > 1:47:47
1:47:47 > 1:47:53but it did not drop back. I would come down and look at that, David.
1:47:53 > 1:48:03If you touch the jack, you will get the shot away. The last end of the
1:48:03 > 1:48:11
1:48:11 > 1:48:21He does not want to get the shot away. I did not think he has got
1:48:21 > 1:48:22
1:48:22 > 1:48:30around. He has been careful and I can understand why it. I think he
1:48:30 > 1:48:38might be interested. He will have a look, surely. A couple of shots are
1:48:38 > 1:48:43available on that site. He could get into the bowls if he wanted to.
1:48:44 > 1:48:47Look at the position it he gets that nice and cleaned. He will get
1:48:48 > 1:48:53a solid jack if he gets all the way and it will be difficult for his
1:48:53 > 1:48:58opponent to recover. He thought he got that would the last one and it
1:48:58 > 1:49:08was running 18 inches. I think that he should play the percentages and
1:49:08 > 1:49:08
1:49:08 > 1:49:12play the strike. This happened in the singles tournament as well.
1:49:12 > 1:49:17Paul Foster felt that he had drawn be shot in the last end of the
1:49:17 > 1:49:22singles and he dropped through. He thought he was on top of it.
1:49:22 > 1:49:29cannot afford to be short. You have got to get around this ball. You
1:49:29 > 1:49:34cannot afford to play dead weight. A chance of two reds getting out of
1:49:34 > 1:49:44the head as well. The jack and the ditch, if he buries that, it is
1:49:44 > 1:49:59
1:49:59 > 1:50:04spectators are deciding what shot they would play it. This is the
1:50:04 > 1:50:11anytime that you are about to destroy the head. Paul Foster has
1:50:11 > 1:50:18called for that. It will not be spotted again. It the jack is in
1:50:18 > 1:50:23the ditch, it will stay in the ditch. It looks a little bit high.
1:50:24 > 1:50:33Unless he gets a lucky result. It might just come off that. He has
1:50:33 > 1:50:39got it! David Gourlay's bowl stays end. Debbie Stavrou and David
1:50:39 > 1:50:44Gourlay winner the 2012 Mixed pairs Championship. Great effort. No
1:50:44 > 1:50:50doubt about that. Thoroughly entertaining. But unfortunately for
1:50:50 > 1:51:00their opponents, just a shot to shot to win the match will stop
1:51:00 > 1:51:07
1:51:07 > 1:51:10excellent game of bowls. No doubt brilliant game, John. It went down
1:51:10 > 1:51:17to be decided. A close finish and Paul Foster could not produce at
1:51:17 > 1:51:21the end. We will discuss what has gone arm. Played in good spirit as
1:51:21 > 1:51:31you would expect from players that know each other very well. Quality
1:51:31 > 1:51:39

1:51:52 > 1:51:57Gourlay at squeezing through for the third. Just getting in front.
1:51:57 > 1:52:04Paul Foster trying to say that the game. A last effort and that was a
1:52:04 > 1:52:13brilliant effort. Right up there for the championship. A big
1:52:13 > 1:52:18reaction from Paul Foster, as expected. Once again, David Gourlay

1:52:27 > 1:52:35Perfect bowl and perfect result. Paul Foster to try and rescue the
1:52:35 > 1:52:41match. Slightly higher. I thought he had that. It had fallen back but
1:52:41 > 1:52:51it did not drop. Debbie Stavrou and David Gourlay take the mixed pairs
1:52:51 > 1:52:52

1:53:23 > 1:53:28You did not have to be worried because he played well. -- fabulous.
1:53:28 > 1:53:34It has been fantastic. What has it been like to get your first mixed
1:53:34 > 1:53:41pairs title? It has been really good. You have been on good form,
1:53:41 > 1:53:47David. Your partner played a part. I think that she was sensational.
1:53:47 > 1:53:52It was amazing. What about the opponents? They came back very well
1:53:52 > 1:53:57after a year dominated the first set. The tie-break was tense and
1:53:57 > 1:54:02tight. I thought Kerry Packwood bowled particularly well throughout.
1:54:02 > 1:54:08She was very steady and I had to work hard. Paul Foster was
1:54:08 > 1:54:15brilliant as usual. Is this lack grip four-times you had been in the
1:54:15 > 1:54:20final and the three times you have won? -- is this four times. I hope

1:56:59 > 1:57:04me? John Price. Along with David Corkill. Just a reminder of what we
1:57:04 > 1:57:08have seen today, a fantastic game. A great final and great for the
1:57:08 > 1:57:16crowd. Paul Foster played some great bowls and David played great
1:57:16 > 1:57:24as well. David said it was great to EC the ladies play so well. It
1:57:24 > 1:57:29shows the great standard of the women's players. It is also about
1:57:29 > 1:57:33making the game could. The pairs are very important. Once they get
1:57:33 > 1:57:41in, they can play all the shots. Not just drawing. Looking at the
1:57:41 > 1:57:46big shots. It is only Tuesday and we have had great stuff. Tomorrow
1:57:46 > 1:57:51promises to be a great match. John, we were chatting earlier today
1:57:51 > 1:57:57about the fact that you are up against a man that is very young.
1:57:57 > 1:58:03Definitely it. I think I played at the beginning 13 years before he
