Mixed Pairs Final World Indoor Bowls Championships

Hello everyone, welcome to the world

Indoor Bowls Championships at the

Potters Resort in Great Yarmouth. A

great crowd N about 1,300 people

expected this afternoon and they,

like us are expecting an exciting

afternoon of bowls.

First up on this famous Blue Rink,

the mixed pairs final. Scotland's

Darren Burnett and Rebecca Field now

face the Anglo--Scott partnership of

Jamie Chestney and Lesly Doig, who

themselves come through a

heart-fought semifinal.

After that we are into the second

round singles action. The winner of

last November's Scottish

International open, David Gourlay,

continues his quest for a seconder

world skap world Singles Title a

mere 22 years after his first.

His opponent is Mark Dawes,

Englishman, fresh from celebrating

his Pairs World Title victory

yesterday with Jamie Chesney. This

promises to be an afternoon of

Potters' magic. The mixed pairs

final coming up later but let's

focus on the sippingles first of all

and what the draw for the second

round looked like at the start of

today:

round looked like at the start of

today:

But the first match today took place

and featured the 2014 champion,

Darren Burnett up against Jamie

Chestney. Here is what happened.

These players will be facing one

another again in the missioned pairs

final this afternoon. This was the

first time they met in a singles

competition in a World Bowls Tour

event. Little to separate them

during the opening exchanges with

the lead swinging both ways. Going

into the eighth end, Burnett was

trailing by one, before producing

this well-judged forehand draw for a

double and a slender advantage and

the set was effectively decided by

the outcome of two drives in the

last end and the finest of margins.

Burnett's third bowl couldn't have

worked out better. While Chesney's

excellent reply just couldn't

deliver the right result. The first

set going the way of the 41-year-old

policeman.

Jamie Chestney had his breakthrough

World Bowls' tour win last year in

Blackpool but today the luck

deserted him. Another runner in the

fifth end of the second set and

another awful result.

The pivotal moment in the second set

came in the 7th end when the 2014

World Champion capitalised on loose

play from Chestney. This long draw

for Burnett enough for a double and

the first bit of daylight between

them.

Chest in any did claw a shot back to

need him leaving a triple to save

the match T wasn't to be. Burnett

was in full control and took the set

9-4 to book his place in the quarter

times and a match against Paul

Foster or Jason Greenslade.

times and a match against Paul

Foster or Jason Greenslade.

So Darren Burnett is the first

player to book a slot in the

quarterfinals. One of seven former

champions in the event:

In the second half of the draw a

very strong line-up there as well:

Niki Brett and Mervyn King both

former champions. Greg Harlow we saw

winning his first-round match

yesterday.

David Corkhill will be in the

commentary box all afternoon, all

evening, every

commentary box all afternoon, all

evening, every day.

Looking forward to the singles first

of all. I talk about the quality

every year, we are talking about

seven former champions still left.

Who are are the standout ones for

you?

We have to look at current

form. The main current form, David

Gourlay having won Scotland and Greg

Harlow on his home turf, so to

speak. He works here and spends a

lot of time. He is always

comfortable but it is when we get

down to the quarter times when we

know what is going on. Really it is

normally one of six at that stage,

possibly even one of seven.

We saw

Darren been et and Jamie Chestney in

action this morning -- Darren

Burnett. They are part of the mixed

pairs final today. Talk us through

to today. After that match this

morning, they felt that would have

no bearing ahead of the final? . It

is won't have any bearing, really,

the game was so close. Now we did

see there on the replays just a

couple of results, we got an ooh and

an aah from the crowd, who haven't

seen it before. You say - hang on,

one or two bowls here and there but

Darren Burnett is such a good match

player. He is so hard to beat. Every

shot you against him you have to

play. He is so good. Talk about the

ladies playing today. Less familiar

on this rink is Lesley Doig

The

thing about Lesly is she has been

comfortable, what I have seen of her

but she's coming off the back much

very good success elsewhere. Runner

up in the World Outdoor in

Christchurch. I watched that match I

was there. She showed a maturity. It

lifts you up and to be truthful. She

will fear nothing in this.

It makes

up for an exciting afternoon. Let's

remind you of what we have coming up

this afternoon with the final. It's

Darren Burnett and Rebecca Field up

against Jamie Chestney and Lesley

Doig in the final of the mixed

pairs. The former sees two sets,

nine ends. And if we get to the

tie-break, it is the best of three

ends.

An exciting time for all four

players. We can hear from the four

finalists.

The mixed pair is a great event. The

teams are tight. You know the

matcheses are likely to be good. But

it is game time time, it is good to

get a run. It keeps you on the rink.

He have has the focus on the singles

but mixed pairs is great. Game time

is what you need and what we are

getting.

This is my seventh year. I

think I played with six ditch

partners now. Only once do I play in

a row. And that was a fluke. It was

two draws that happened. I told him

he must have got unlucky, twice.

It's strange. Before this event

jaily and I had never spoken to each

other. So a wee bit of us getting to

know each other and just enjoying it

at the same time.

We had a very

brief chat before we played. And the

secret, I think has been we have had

confidence in what each other wants

to do. So Lesley told me before the

game the hands and lengths she

prefers to play. Then she has really

sort of encourages me to play the

shots that I see, which is eye deal

for myself, and gone well so far.

The potential for the game is to be

exciting. Probably Jamie and I are

probably two of the most attacking

players on the men's side. You know,

so I would expect the two of us to

have a good battle. Whoever comes

out on top of that, will the one who

attacks more, we are probably two of

the most attacking players.

We are

probably the most attacking players,

but, yes, you can only play those

shots if you have the bowls around

to be able to do that. So Bex is a

good friend of mine and my wife's.

We spent new year together in Exeter

not long ago. It'll be another

enjoyable final it play in.

It would

mean an awful lot. It is a world

trophy. You want to pick them up, as

many as you can. It has been a long

time since I won here, since then I

have had three finals where I have

not been the winner. A big game for

me, I'm looking forward to it. I

would like to lay my hands on a

trophy.

This is NICE experience of

an event like this. To be able to

come away a World Champion t would

be unbelievable.

# It takes two baby

# To make a dream come true ins will

be will be This trophy means a lot

to all four players and this is how

they managed to get through to the

final:

Let's not keep the players waiting

any longer. Let's join our MC and

say hello to Richard.

any longer. Let's join our MC and

say hello to Richard.

Thank you very much. An air of

excitement here in the international

arena for the prospect of what we

hope is going to be yet another

thrilling final. So, leak, it's now

a chance not just for the men but

for the ladies -- so, ladies and

gentlemen, it is not just a chance

for the men to shine but the ladies

as well. Ladies and gentlemen, last

year's finalist, Rebecca Field and

Darren Burnett.

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

And they take on a former women's

outdoor single silver medallist

Lesley Doig and the reigning world

indoor pairs champion, Jamie

Chestney.

APPLAUSE

Lesley

Another great atmosphere at Potters

this afternoon. Corky has taken his

seat in the commentary box and John

Price is alongside him. Good

afternoon, gentlemen.

COMMENTATOR:: Good afternoon, Rishi.

There is an air of excitement about

this match no, doubt about it. There

has been it has been traditional

that the women play a lead role. It

can be reversed if the players so

wish to do so.

But when you have the two players of

this calibre on your team, you want

them to be going last John?

Yes,

they said in the interview they were

attacking players. So expect

excitement. A few fireworks during

the game.

Three bowl pairs, of

course. It makes a difference. Nine

ends.

Great start, really good. The

first two sets, and a tie-break,

three bowls does allow for a lot

more shots to be played.

Well, two good lead bowls.

A very

good start by both ladies. These two

players won't be phased by the

occasion. Very experienced.

Another bowl in the head. The

players, of course have had an

opportunity to practice before this

game. Another advantage of not

playing the second match in the

afternoon, where you only get two

ends.

That's good stuff, isn't it? Four

bowl, all around it.

bowl, all around it.

Well, the

opening session, and there is an

advantage to get a feel of the rink.

Of course there are things going on,

on the rink before that, a lot of

preparation and the crowd being

entertained. Oh, that's a good bowl

there. Well, she might have to match

that.

Well Lesley setting it wide. Letting

it drift in.

Yes, strong biassed bowls she's

using but I'm not sure they'll be

able to keep this standard up for

the whole of the match but it is

certainly very good stuff.

Six very

good bowls to start with and

opportunities for the two guys now

to play some conversion bowls.

Jamie and Darren will be sick of the

sight of each other after today.

It

all depends who wins. If Jamie loses

this, he certainly will be. But so

hard to score against Darren

Burnett, the way he plays the game.

A tough competitor.

Playing that

reaching weight. Just trying to pull

the jack through.

He is very quick on the mat, Jamie.

He always has been. He plays

international bowls like that as

well. He is trying his best, but

looking into the back. That's a good

bowl there.

Options for Darren. Darren he can

play the best weight. If he can go a

bit furtherer, he has the best back.

Just drawing weight. Looks better.

Hurry, hurry, up, up, up.

Played it

well.

APPLAUSE

Well, there is that encouragement to

the bowl. Of course, it can't listen

to her, but it is all part of the

game

Just where he wanted it,

nestled into the Greens.

Yes and

there is a deep red bowl lurking at

the back.

Jamie needs to come off the of that

red bowl to squeeze it through the

two greens. He doesn't want it going

straight through the gap.

He is just

playing a draw to it. A very

conservative.

Giving it a chance.

Excellent try.

If he drops, he will

get the shot. Oh, he hasn't.

Great start. Good head of bowls.

Some player are interested why the

skip's name comes first? It doesn't

necessarily have to be that way.

It's just been tra tra digs in this

event. The name's come out, put it

that way. But as I say, they can

swap around if they see it fit to do

so, in between rounds but I can't

remember anybody ever doing it.

All the bay back, looks good here.

Looks really good.

Come on, back you come. Come on,

around your own is OK. Yeah, good.

Well, a big drawing bowl that

Rebecca is using.

Sometimes the rink changes in

between sessions.

Well done. You can

tighten up a wee bit.

Much better track. Much better

track. Come on, run in. Come on,

run, run.

Darren urging it to run.

It's pretty good. It's going to drop

a little bit short but it is very

good.

I think that's the shot

anyway. You can stick with that,

draw the shot into there. If you get

down here, it's good.

Missed the red.

Wanted to get around

that red bowl into position. The

trouble for Jamie here now is that

he's got a shot against him, he

would like to attack it but there is

no back position, John

No, there is

a lot of position through the jack.

A fairly God shot on the forearm

side, where he could lift the green

bowl.

Darren plays first and could alter

this.

He needs this to run a little bit to

pass the two short bowls. Oh, there

you go. That's a very good position

there.

Jamie is on the to the

forehand side. Looking to lift the

green A safer shot. Wouldn't want it

get the red into the jack. Anything

down that side is good. He

overplayed it deliberately to get

past the jack but a little bit too

strong. Gone too deep.

A good weight for the shot to roll

into the jack.

Any movement on the

jack will bring one more or more

into the count.

Worth having a go on this?

Yeah, on

you go.

You can see he is

contemplating more weight. Trying to

take the danger as well. He has to

be careful not to take his own bowl

out.

In the area.

Will he get the

run through? Not sure. Very close.

It was a good shot. He pulled the

danger away. Even if he is one-down

it is a better position for him.

Well, Darren can afford to drive at

this, depending on the weight. Play

stronger at it. He has the back

position.

He does play the backhand very well.

Favoured the in his singles match.

On a good line here to get to the

bowl or passes it.

He is looking for

a tap on the bowl. Always good, on

the line.

the line. He just didn't fancy the

stronger shot but the arriving draw

was always a good option, John.

He

played it to perfection.

Difficult to get that bowl out.

Really hard. He might just have to

try and draw this. Well, he could

play the forehand just to raise his

green into the red and spring the

jack on to his back green. It is not

a bad shot to play. Other than that,

he has an open draw on the backhand,

coming on the same line as Darren's

delivery.

What you are really

talking about is to play that and

just a little touch to move the

Jacques. The alternative is if he

wants to come under, he can play

under the line to try to get the

bowl out clean.

Another option.

There is a draw shot on the

backhand. This is complicated. He

can't afford to move the jack too

far if he wants to get the shot. But

there is a direct line into the bowl

with controlled weight.

The good

thing is, he has a couple of

choices. It is what he is confident

about playing.

Yes, going for the controlled

weight. Not a full drive.

Oh, that

really is a super shot he has

played.

Definitely one. Hard to tell. He had

to thread the needle there. He

probably would've preferred it clean

because it was two or certain.

He

played it really well. We said he

had three options, he chose the

right one there.

right one there.

One green, pleasure

for second. -- measure for second.

Always hard when the jack is in the

ditch, to judge the distances,

because you have to drop down the

few inches. A green ball against the

reds.

He is getting some help.

One shot, Chestney and Doig.

Well the extra bowls, of course make

a difference, John and those sort of

shots are available in this match.

Jamie will play those and he is very

direct.

The thing is, it all extends the

ends quite considerably because of

the conversations the skip and the

lead will have.

The line is really good. Come on,

last bit. The last bit here, you are

really good. Yeah.

Oh, just slipping

past the bowl.

That was an interesting combination,

wasn't it? -- there are always

interesting combinations, Scotland

and England. But not in the right

format.

Well-played.

That was

well-played from Lesley.

well-played from Lesley. She a plays

at international level. Renowned for

being a solid lead, front-end

player. She's developing her game.

The success she had in New Zealand

in the World Outdoor will give her

confidence. She has all the talent

in the world.

Sorry.

The weight is good.

That's good.

Another useful bowl.

Just in behind.

God to bend. Up you come so. Up you

come.

come. -- got to end.

Just a little

bit there. If Darren decides to go

quicker at it, he could get a little

borrow off it.

Come on. Up you come. Very good.

Come on. Just get by now. Great try.

Nearly got past it which would have

been really good.

It's protected the

jack.

Darren can still get through the gap

for the bowl.

Try there?

I think you could really

keep it there. One turn on your Roan

is good enough, or even if you slip

round to here.

I think he knows he's on the narrow

side of this.

Need that pace.

That is the shot for

Darren coming inside the bowl or

getting the edge of the bowl. Takes

him on to the green. Doesn't need a

lot of weight.

The line goes very quick.

Margin of

error on that side is minimal.

Drawing careful on the back hand.

He gets past any of the red bowls,

that's good.

that's good.

No, no.

Darren is going

to play something different here.

Bit more weight to it.

Wants the edge of the bowl. Doesn't

want to go anywhere near the front

one.

That's the only problem isn't

it. If he got the edge of the jack,

it could go pear-shaped.

He'll slide

off the green bowl then. Yes. He's

just looking for the edge of the

green one. Although he's looking

like he's playing fairly close to

draw weight.

Very conservative on

the weight.

Can't blame him, to be

truthful. It was a hairy one.

APPLAUSE.

If the shot is going to be so

valuable in this match, he can't

afford to take too many risks.

If we look back to the players

yesterday, it was one end, that big

five that turned that game. These

players will be aware of that. Can't

afford to drop any big scores.

No.

Previously, of

Previously, of course, before bowls,

well...

Extra one five. If you pick

up a five you should win the set.

Great weight.

Simple action Rebecca. Easy

delivery.

Tall girl.

Similar with Lesley, verbal smooth

action. Step forward.

In the north of England, same way,

lots of heavy Europeans the start of

the season -- heavy greens.

Everybody starts to play outdoor in

April.

Nice follow-through.

This is never a bad thing when you

think about it.

Jamie is a bit under the line. I

think he can afford to be positive,

getting that jack through a bit.

There's nothing for green at the

back.

Second prize is, if he goes under

the jack, it comes to the green.

That's the second. Right on the line

here again.

APPLAUSE.

If you are going to go, you go with

this one.

Rebecca's ball fell so

it's pretty close for three.

I think

he has to play through this. At

least with this one he's got a

chance to recover it if it goes

wrong.

Nice!

APPLAUSE.

He'll struggle to beat that.

Bit of good space if he got

connection on the red. Back into

line with the jack. He's probably

about ten inches away from it.

Good

effort.

effort.

Really good second shot.

He can go as close as thobing get a

second bowl to the ditch. Inside the

line.

Fairly impossible to get shot.

May as well give it a go in case he

can get in front and over the edge.

Defy gravity.

APPLAUSE.

Great line here.

APPLAUSE.

Rebecca's mum is normally here with

her on these events at Potters. But

not today. She's working, I believe

in a primary school.

I can almost hear the kids at the

primary school cheering for her.

Which would be lovely. Good effort.

Looks good all the way. It suddenly

contracts into a white mark,

indicating a toucher. The ball goes

into the ditch.

Very useful and handy. Always

remember to wipe it off though.

Can't see the two bowls going

without the jack.

If he gets the red

going, the jack will move, yes.

The danger is, if you play that...

If you get the touching bowl on to

the jack, you're in a heap of

trouble.

They play in wait looking

for a good connection.

Very close.

Well played. Might have played the

forehand but...

The way he was

sitting on the green was locking the

other red in.

The angle wasn't right

on the back hand shot.

I need to get another one in, I

think.

think.

I would be tempted to go for

another close bowl, to be honest.

Up you come. Run, run, run...

It's not up but it's a very useful

bowl. It's going to make life a

little more difficult. Still a

chance on the forehand.

A little bit

more control. Where he gets the jack

he's got a chance.

You are talking

about this one here, John, to make

that work, to get back into things.

It's also off the red too. Also what

he's looking for is a jack movement

down over to this direction.

The respot is also there if he gets

an angle on things. That's the

respot over here. All sorts of

options.

A good run-through.

APPLAUSE.

Good, solid connection.

The key to

that was the weight.

Not ideal to get the green bowl on

plant.

He could drop the three or

four if it went wrong.

That is what

he's looking at.

There is a red in

the back of the head.

That is useful. That jack moves, but

there is a big danger if it goes on

to the respot position. Jacks have

been going up the green as well.

Playing the back hand side.

See what

happens. All on the angle of, if he

gets to the jack, the front plant is

an option.

APPLAUSE.

Good conversion shots by the two

skips.

Players spend a lot of time with

each other at this venue, more so

than any other venue.

Sitting down for lunch today and

Nicky Brett was there, I said what

do you think of the pairs. Nicky

said Mark Dawes was the problem

because he played really well in the

pairs final.

Dawes is coming up the rankings and

a very dangerous player.

All the way up now. All the way up.

Very good.

An inch off the jack.

Stay with it?

Get a close one in. It will be

fascinating with Mark and David

Gourlay...

Anything drawing down to here is

good.

Needs to get on to the green bowl.

Rolls the red away. Little bit heavy

but that is the option of coming

behind then which is good. Actually

not so much heavy, the weight was

perfect, just missed it by a shade.

Keep the shot cold. If you miss you

will go to that position so you will

be more than happy with that.

Narrowing the target.

He's probable playing that a little

bit firmer. Missed that line. That's

the problem there. If you play that

kind of weight, you pull it. Very

difficult.

Probably the least accommodating for

that particular type of shot.

Sometimes you're sucked into playing

these type of bowls. Looks like the

shot to play. It's so very difficult

on this rink.

Very good bowl here.

Well done.

Well done.

It's not easy. The jack

goes back the wrong way and he's in

a heap of trouble. Back to the draw.

4-1 up. Can't afford to lose a

single. Don't want to give Darren a

chance to make multiples from it.

What a line!

Gap of about ten, 12 inches.

Any movement on the jack would be

good.

As long as it doesn't fall

back and move it.

APPLAUSE.

I think Rebecca was holding her

breath for a moment.

Played it really well though,

Darren. The weight was great for the

shot.

Jamie is in a heap of trouble here.

The back position's just not right.

He's got nothing but a draw here.

Everything's blocked off.

Still two down. Perfect line in,

just gave up at the last moment.

Darren doesn't want to drop back

again.

If he was chasing shots it would be

different. When you are lying with

three ends to go, you know, it's...

Front touch will do.

The back hand

isn't doing much for him. The jack

comes out and it's not clever. Has

to be a front toucher, the forehand.

Doesn't want to be a back one.

That's the danger, falling back. You

can play a perfect bowl and go a

shot down here. Really close if he

runs on that line.

You can encourage

it all you want but it's not going

to make it.

Very, very good end.

Excellent bowling.

The line's really good.

Very good. Well done.

A bit further...

Needs to get past. This is good.

Very good.

Well played.

A bit of draw there now. A bowl and

a half shot, Jack High.

Jack

Run, come on, run.

The worst end there really. She's

been pretty consistent but that's

three short bowls and if Lesley can

find another good one, he'll be in a

bit of trouble, Mr Burnett.

Turns the green over, that'll be

very good. Turns the green down...

Yes, that's better. Little bit

unlucky it moved to the jack because

it's brought the jack into the open.

Without the movement on the jack, it

would have beening perfect.

The

trouble for Darren is, if he wants

to run with this, there are holes

and gaps all over the place and no

gabbing position either.

No, but

he'll be pleased he's playing that

back hand side and he does like the

back hand in both directions on this

rink.

Yes. Very close to drawing it.

Hurry, now, hurry...

Needs an edge.

An edge on the red would have got

him all the way through to the jack

at a good weight. And Jamie now has

a chance to turn the jack himself.

Not sure about this one.

It's under.

Still one down?

Yes, this one here.

Got the edge of the green to use.

Same weight.

Hurry, Darren. You are still down

there a wee turn of the jack is

good.

Another chance for Jamie to

put this jack out of sight.

Everything to gain to reach.

Come on. Down you come, now.

Good try.

He's got a difficulty as he's got no

back position, John, and if he

leaves it, he's in a heap of

trouble.

He's got to play the back

hand just over the draw. If he

brings the jack through, takes the

danger away.

Yes. Obviously, he'd

like to get to the jack and extend

it through into this sort of

position.

Can't see anything else, to be

honest. That is the shot to play.

If that jack goes to there, it picks

up, three, four, five. Take it away

from Jamie.

It needs to run. It has to kick

inside. Just inside. This has to go

down as a chance.

Yes, it is an

opportunity. Not easy on that side

but if he does get off his bowl, the

2.00 position, the short bowl, the

green bowl takes him into the jack,

he will score three, maybe four. It

is an opportunity.

It's a massive

one if he gets it absolutely right.

A foot over the dead weight and he

could make this a four.

Needs to hurry.

A chance to get off

the bowl. He might not need that

bowl.

APPLAUSE

Played itW didn't need the edge.

Gets the jack.

! That was the problem. Darren

Burnett just couldn't get one in

there.

Two ends to go.

And the Burnett and Field

combination will be to try to score

four shots.

The problem started

there. They didn't have an early

bowl past the jack. That was the

issue. We said earlier on, in this

three bowls format. You need one

past. The feel-good factor if you

are skipping.

Italways gives you the

option to play into things.

Back now. Good start. Looks good.

We'll keep that.

Wasn't intentional

that but always a good position at

the back. Always useful.

It might be hanging on for the shot.

A better bowl for the recovery.

Draw

one in. Either hand. I'm happy with

that.

Backhand looks the better option.

It's a cinder just to draw in off a

bowl. Played it really well.

The first bowl for Jamie, if I was

him I would be tempted to draw. At

the moment you wouldn't want to

remove that.

He has a problem, if he

takes tout the angle will take him

away from the jack. He is drawing on

the backhand

A sensible decision.

The weight wasn't too bad.

The

weight was lovely. W still not

ideal. -- well, still not ideal.

Never far away on the backhand,

Darren.

That's his favourite hand.

No doubt about that.

Of the two

sides he will always play that

backhand?

Well, you make your mind

up now, Jamie. I think he'll run

this now.

Stilt danger of winging

his own bowl out.

Well-played. ! Pick the bones out of

that one.

Dear me.

Great strike.

He gets it absolutely.

A perfect drive, isn't it? Three

bowls away.

That's as good as it

gets.

Darren, going for the jack.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

That was the danger, taking his own

bowl out. But just a fraction for

Darren.

He had to play it. No choice

then.

Well, he is going to go for the best

back. Interesting choice.

You must believe it, Darren is going

to drive the jack. I'm not sure if

he will, John? He needs shots,

though.

Oh, he is past T it is a good bowl.

Well, he is thinking I'll take a

three-shot lead into the last,

really. That's what he is saying.

7-3. That's the problem Darren

Burnett has. He is looking at angles

here. It doesn't look good for me T

looks a bit flat from those angles,

if he wants to take the two bowls

out. I can't see it, John, I can't.

It is such a wrong angle. Well apart

as well.

The flat angle, that's the

problem to get to there. He has to

play that on the backhand to get

across. I can't see that happening.

Nor me. Realistically, I think it is

a draw and you go into the last end

3-down. I think that's what

realistically all he has.

I think

that's what he has to play, I really

do. Back positions against them as

well. A good draw shot. 7-3 down.

Misses this, well, the set is

virtually over.

He is going heavy, for the two

bowls.

It looks like one is a green.

One

shot, Chestney and Doig.

Well, he

probably thought going into the last

end 3-down was just not close

enough.

I can't blame him but we couldn't

see the angle absolutely perfect but

it didn't look right, did it, John?

Jack leg, two.5m.

Five shots now. And anything that

drops shot from the pair in red and

it is all over.

Well, that is a super start, it

really is.

Well, that's pretty good.

It's hard to get two or three when

you really need them, never mind

five.

Is

Ease a touch. That's OK. OK.

Not

bad there.

That's probably the

target, that's very good.

That's

true. Jamie says that's the target.

If she split the two reds, it will

make it very difficult, nearly

impossible I would say.

Run all you

can. Up, up.

Very good, well done, well done.

It's a good bowl but that green bowl

looks like it is locked in now,

John. I don't know what Darren can

do with this. I suppose he has to

hit it.

The bowls at the moment not

sitting very favourably for him.

Darren knows if he comes into this

and misses, it's more or less over

anyway. But I can't see you them

developing a count out of it.

Everything is locked in, John, isn't

it?

I think at this stage he might

as well have a bit of a bash at that

and hope you get a fluke result. I

don't see a shot there to get a 5.

It is a practice end.

A technical

term?

Yes, "a bash." You can't see

anything that is on. I can't either.

Hit it and hope for a favourable

break. Give you something to play

your last delivery. You can almost

see it in his face. He is almost

saying - out on earth can I get

something out of this?

Well, he has lost that bowl in the

ditch, as well?

There is no danger

of our bowl going? I don't think so.

I don't think there is any hope of

that happening.

You don't want to look at this.

Abarcadabara and there is five. He

would be a real wizard if he does

this.

What would he do if he hits

the jack so hard it breaks up into

smithereens?

I would say you would

have to replay the end.

Exactly.

That's the only way I can see him

getting out of this.

One red.

One red.

First set to done et and Field.

Jamie played a couple of good

conversion shots.

conversion shots. -- first set to

Chestney and Doig.

Ye, Jamie played a couple of good

conversion sets and that was the

difference.

Jack length 27.5ms.

Come on, all the way up. Run, run.

One yard.

A few short bowls from Rebecca Field

at the moment.

Well, if you leave a few bowls like,

that David, it tells in the end,

doesn't it?

Well it does. Everything

was tight in the first end. A lot of

singles going on. You can only build

if the bowls are in the head. That's

the way it works. And Lesley has had

the edge in this match.

Try to draw in closer. Could be

three down. Either hand.

The problem for Rebecca is making

sure she gets past it. The two short

bowls weren't great and she has

overreached trying to play a perfect

bowl.

Yeah, he doesn't really want to

leave something jack-high here

either.

At the moment Darren won't

be driving at this. He will be

trying to draw a good second.

Big pressure for Darren, if you lose

the first set, you want to get off

on the second and score at the first

end. Well that is in. Probably taken

a couple off.

Jamie might be tempted

to go to the other side. Any

turnover into that red is good.

He

is on the forehand. He is good as

long as he makes centre rink. He

doesn't want to leave a shoulder.

Well-played here.

Doesn't want to

leave the shoulder. Well done. Super

bowl.

It has widened the target, maybe

just by half a bowl. But Darren can

remove the two of them, if he gets

it perfect. He will have to drive

it, surely, John

He has to hit the

target.

target. The problem is if Jamie

draws again and gets movement on

that. .

He has it drive this. Takes

a two out he will get second shot.

He is interested. Hurry, hour yu.

That was a little bit better.

Well So down to one. Not the perfect

result but reasonably predictable.

Jamie looking the same line as the

last bowl. Gets any movement on the

jack and' draw the shot.

Very close

here.

Very close. Yes it's another.

He has made the double. It has

rolled off the bowl a little bit but

where it has gone to is a pretty

decent position.

I don't think he can do anything but

draw here. There is nothing to play

to

No, it seems to me probably just

a draw on the forehand. I think it

really has to be, John, because a

draw there, he gets second shot and

might even draw the shot. And if he

really wants to play into it, is the

back bowl. You know t could just be

half a bowl, and they can lose three

or four. He can not risk that. Not

in the first end anyway. Get it down

to a single.

I think he can be well-pleased.

Well, what a bowl down. A brilliant

bowl. Always the way to play it. In

for second and draw the shot. A

bonus.

It was class. Hard to play

the wide line. Perfect weight.

Drawback and fall in for shot.

That's good stuff.

What do you fancy?

You pick your

weight?

Jack length 27m.

Unlucky again, aren't I?

Next time.

Just loosened up a bit this end.

As I was saying, it has just

loosened up on this end, hasn't it?

It is probably going to happen. You

can't keep it going all the time.

Just occasionally in matches there

will be a little bit of a loose end.

Well, it is a shot but still very

beatable.

Very good.

Another very good ball by Darren.

I

think you are just about there just

now.

Not an easy one to work with,

this.

Very well-placed here. That's good.

Well done.

What a good bowl that is,

John. He put one in there. I think

he was probably looking for the red

bowl but he'll take it.

Yes, looking

to get the red and dropped in behind

the jack.

Oh, a cracking bowl in

there. He has to be tempted to run

this and go for the split, hasn't

he, just trying to disturb things,

get it out in the open.

I don't think there is any other way

to get the shot.

Perfect connection

is dead split. Pushes your two with

it.

The deepest position is red.

Worth

putting another one there.

There is

a green bowl there but there is a

deeper red one, close to the ditch.

If he'll get deep, he probably

covers at least one if not two of

the spots as well.

Well, it hasn't covered the exact

back bowl but it has probably

covered the respot. The way that hit

is sitting, John, the respot is

something that Darren Burnett and

Rebecca Field do not want.

No, it is

a difficult one for Darren now,

while he gambles again.

while he gambles again. Checking out

the angles at the moment, to see if

it goes right. But what if he went

wrong.

If it goes right, you don't

have to think about it. Is it

realising the potential for

disaster. And just the way it is

sitting, I don't know if it'll cost

him one more. If it is still just

the one shot on the respot you might

as well go for T always got a

chance.

I can't see them even playing this

bowl.

Well, there

bowl.

Well, there could Removing the

red near the jack.

Well, again, he

would be a little bit unlucky to

give the shot away but it's a close

game, mate, every shot you have to

fight hard for

Jamie is a very

adventurous player. He likes to take

these little half chances if he can

get them. I can't see him making

another shot, other than that. But

there is a bit of dapger he could

end up...

Didn't fancy that one.

APPLAUSE.

Lesley is looking for an adjustment

on the weight. Just running through

again. Good effort.

If you don't get a close bowl, you

need to get to those.

Green in a better position again. If

Jamie drops a really close ball.

A poor ball by Jamie Chestney's

standards.

Just a matter of sliding past. And

he's managed it. Behind the jack

would be perfect.

Almost as good.

Oh, dear.

For anyone watching on the red

button coverage, it will be ceasing

very shortly but you can switch over

to BBC 2. Fascinating set in the

final of the world mixed pairs. So

red button coverage will cease

shortly and BBC Two will be picking

it up.

it up. Important bowl this.

Needs the jack.

Come on, Jamie.

Brilliant ball.

We can welcome our viewers in Wales

now for this, most of the second set

in this world mixed final.

Once we see that third end

completing, the dulcet tones of

Wales will be with us, Port Talbot.

It's a tight end. We expected it to

be the first set. 8-4 to Les by Doig

and Jamie Chestney.

Nothing in the match between the

pairs. Very similar in this early

stage of the second set.

Rebecca had the better start. Laid a

few short bowls in recent ends.

That's a decent start, just past the

jack.

Well done.

Nice reply.

Very like the start of the first

set. A little bit of sparring on

single shots.

Very Nip and Tuck. A

couple of big turnover balls from

Jamie Chestney. That's been the

difference. That's why they're a set

in front. In the last couple of

ends, Darren's had to pull a few

good bowls out in this set as well.

It's very tight. Still a long way to

go in this match.

go in this match.

Good try.

Three ends in the tie-break. Three

bowls. They don't use two any more,

it's three. It's been the case for a

couple of decades.

Back hand. It's a clear road in.

Very close.

She's played well. She

really has.

She's a new player to TV audiences

in the UK. Singles player. Singles

player for Scotland and runner-up in

the world outdoor singles, December

2016, Christchurch and adapted very

well to playing in this format. A

new combination, of course, with

Jamie Chestney.

Darren Burnett looking for a punchy

one here. Move it back to the two

Reds.

That's OK. Given them another

option.

It's provided an extra

shoulder as well. You can actually

move on to the forehand if he wants

to play it. A couple of chances now

for Darren.

Didn't come out properly.

There is

another shot on the other side of

the forehand. Darren is persevering

on the back hand but got the

possibility of a shot on the

forehand side as well.

He likes this

back hand and has a chance of bowl

on to bowl here.

Green bowl. What is

going to happen. It's right out and

it's going to stay within the

confines of the rink, by the looks

of it and that's going to be very

close. I think it's in.

That is not an easy position.

No,

and they are going to take a look at

this. Very close to the line.

They're going to use the string

because it's a middle off the yellow

line. It's not just the yellow line

but it's the middle of it and just

black. They have marks on the green

that they can run this through. If

not, they can use a telescopic type

but this should be very accurate.

It's out. Darren Burnett will be

absolutely delighted with that.

Taking note of that. He's a

policeman!

A little bit more

accessible to the players. It would

have been very difficult from where

he was.

Wants to get in with a full one.

Really good weight.

Struggling. Doesn't want to draw.

I fancy we've got it.

She favours

this and we can confirm that. I

think that's a distance we can be

fairly sure of. This really should

be a double.

be a double. It's a good chance for

Jamie on a safer, wider line.

Wanted

to stay away from the red one.

Gently, gently though. It's running

a shade.

Just stopped in time.

APPLAUSE.

Mixed pairs always very entertaining

and always gets very good support as

well. They need to win the majority

of the three ends to force the

tie-break.

tie-break.

The crowd always enjoy

this event. It's a nice mix. A bit

of banter between the men and the

ladies on the rink.

Oh you're running now. What a line

you're on. Come on. Up a bit

further.

Very good.

I would switch it over.

Bit of an adjustment there. Covered

the spot position, the respot

position.

Got that early in the end.

Just value, John, that's the point.

It's not where it was meant to be

but there's value in where it's

finished.

That is good.

That is

enough.

Got a chance with this one.

Good effort. Well delivered by

Rebecca there.

Darren will be happy

with that. So will Rebecca as well.

Mark Dawes waiting for his match.

Some of the other players there in

the under-25s, later in the week.

Funny how the players' lounge

becomes a lot more interesting than

the second set of a match, you don't

find anyone around for an hour and

then suddenly they're about the

players enjoying their coffee.

players enjoying their coffee.

Well

played, Darren.

Funny little head

this. It's going to be a draw, draw,

draw.

Gets to the last bowl and falls in,

he'll get the shot.

Needs to run.

Needs to hurry. I think these ends

are dangerous, I really do.

I think the last bowl is a problem

for him now. He may have to change

and try something a little more

aggressive.

aggressive.

It's not a mile off the

third one.

Taken the forehand away on the draw.

Niff look at playing a weighted

ball.

Looking at it to see whether

it's two or three. -- might have to

look at playing a weighted ball.

Very difficult to tell with the

third one.

Going to get a result, David, isn't

he?

Yes.

Even the bowl into the jack

will give him something.

Very close

to three shots. If it is three

shots, I don't think he can be any

worse off.

Oh, that's good. Played that well.

Good drive.

Something was bound to happen.

Good

strike. Cleared the decks. God a

chance, maybe if he's made this

shot, but you can see all the bowls

disappearing and it's taken a lot of

the danger away.

It's one red and

it's not particularly a given to

make a double out of it. It's

possible. Especially if it's on

Darren's back hand.

Oh, well played.

APPLAUSE.

That was big, John. Massive turnover

shot.

He loves the back hand and he

nailed it again, turned the jack for

three.

It's not a given that you are

going to make another one there, but

to make it a three is a real bonus

and he played for it because he was

reaching.

Two feet short again. Played some

great ends but in's been one or two

where she's let bowls Done down the

green. They've been punished. Won't

need to do that at the moment.

Lesley taken advantage there.

She's got past it.

APPLAUSE.

Problems building again for the

Burnett Field combination.

Five or

six inches behind.

I think sometimes you can get a bit

jack-focussed which is a dangerous

thing to do.

Lesley's played two bowls on this

side. Looks good again. Jamie is

clapping it in.

Very good.

Going to

go deep but it's always useful

there, especially when you have

Darren against you.

Darren against you. They realised

it's a valuably bowl. It's a

knowledgeable crowd.

Yes. A good

head for Lesley. Two close balls and

one just past the jack. Given Jamie

a good opportunity to build on it.

Darren's in a bit of trouble again.

I don't think he's too fussed with

that one.

Very good.

Just what the doctor

ordered.

Couldn't have played that any

better.

Your choice. Either draw in,

try and save, or my plant goes to

Jamie so if you were to catch

Jamie's or mine.

That plant was

formed earlier in the end, I thought

it might be a useful one. Rebecca's

bowls. Clean green would be good but

if you are a bit tight, the plant

should give you something.

Unlucky. Got the wrong bowl. Rebecca

realised that. She sort of went, ah.

The jack comes this way.

Try to draw

it around the foresnand

Yes.

Good

thinking, Jamie, I would play it

like that.

Nice weight. He'll drop back for

another.

This is a pivotal moment. Choices,

John. What do you do? Do you draw

in, in the full knowledge that you

could probably get, well, probably

fourth shot would be guaranteed, but

this is really where the choices

come in, isn't it?

If he's driving

it, he's going to drive it off the

back hand. If you are wide of the

gap, it's a one-ball target really

isn't it, could get something away

on the white side. Drawing away into

there, ulinged have to say that is

very possible -- you would have to

say that is very possible. If Darren

wants to be really brave, he could

run it through on to that.

The jack

will bounce. Anything is better than

where it is at the moment. The

trouble is, there's a great big gap

between the two green bowls.

I would

be tempted to try to draw this, he's

5-3 up, three down wouldn't be a

disaster, but a five or six would

be. That would be a huge result for

the Chestney and Doig combination. I

would be looking at a draw with the

green bowl.

It would be a draw for

me too.

He's close with this. Oh, he's just

filtered through.

APPLAUSE.

Took two off though. Jamie has a

bowl left.

Don't do anything hasty.

If he drops back on the jack, he

could make it into four. When you

lose them, you want to get them back

again.

again. Didn't push through it.

Goodness. By some distance too.

Interesting end.

There's always the benefit of course

if you win this title, you are

brought back to defend it.

Very

good.

APPLAUSE.

Guarantees involvement. Always nice

to know, John.

The days of not being able to defend

titles in bowls has long gone. It

has happened.

I think it's fair to say, the

control over players has diminished

quite dramatically over the last 30

years.

Sds

Just needs to rest the bowl.

Well, not bad. Not bad. Another one

in the head. Happy with that.

One red at the moment.

Very close.

He could've had a bit of

movement on the jack there. A little

unfortunate.

Well, I heard Darren say "too

quick."

At least he knew it was too quick. A

similar ball from Jamie. He was

fairly close last time.

Looking for some movement.

Well he

is off the outside one. He will not

be too far away.

He gets a shot off

that. # second.

Always looked like he could roll off

that with a shot.

Surely he must follow him, Darren,

play that shot and come in off that

bowl itself.

He has to be on the

high side. He can't afford to be

jack-solid unless he is Karadzicying

enough weight to punch it through.

It looks like a forehand shot.

He favours the backhand but there is

a catch there. More inviting.

He has been aggressive. He got the

outside green one.

Well, another chance for Jamie to

touch that jack.

Yeah, I think he will be just

drawing until he can score another

one. If he can get to the jack it'll

be a bonus but he can put another

bowl in there, sit off his last

bowl.

Stay up there.

Wrong side. Just

needed another foot or so that was

all. Well, again, he has one bowl in

the head there.

He has options. He can play that

running bowl or just draw it.

That's

the thing, you have this bowl here,

the target bowl. You want to take

that out. The danger is running on

the front one and taking his own

bowl out. But that's the one he is

after.

He is controlling it. A lot less

weight. He has to be careful with

this front plant. Oh, John, I'm not

sure about that.

No, he is a bit

unfortunate.

Although the red ball

was going right through the gap, I

don't know if you could see it

there. I think he played with a lot

less weight deliberately to try to

negate that.

Faint heart never won a

fair lady.

Not when it comes to

winning matches. Sometimes you have

to take a risk. He pulled back a

little bit on it. Just a single.

Still two ends to go. So, the set is

very much there for the taking.

A good start from Rebecca. Needs a

couple of bowls around that now.

She knows she is over it. This is

not a time to go walk about.

Doesn't look happy. Overcorrection.

Oh dear.

You said there comes a time

when...

Thank you, ladies and

gentlemen.

The crowd are

Muralitharaning there. At the

Muralitharaning there. At the moment

there -- the crowd armurmuring

there.

Well she needs it nail this in order

to put some pressure on Jamie

Chestney.

That's the best of the lot so far.

Well, you would expect Jamie can get

in on the inside of that.

Yes but he

has an opponent who can do the same

anyone so he really needs to -- the

same thing, so he really needs to

get in with the first one.

Very good

here. Well-played.

It is well-played.

Always good when

you have a skip that can do that.

It's very useful. I remember the

days when you used to be able to do

that, John. Well, my old mate didn't

often leave me in too much trouble.

You have to say that, he will be

listening.

Yes, I have got to say

that.

Yes, well, he knows he is too

quick, that means he is at least two

feet through. Even further in this

one.

Yeah.

The bowls are finding

centre rink so the line is there.

He needs to hurry to get to this.

It was a good position, John.

Well, he is going for the half bowl

to try to wing it out.

In the area.

Very close.

You could see that from about four

yards out, John, he had the gap.

He

would have known that. He could see

the gap from there.

He boof' known

he'd missed T the trouble for Jamie

Chestney, he know that is bowl will

wing out. So he has to get another

one in. He must draw it to the back

red one. . It's a draw, Jamie,

exactly.

Draw to the bottom red boe.

Pop one in there.

If he misses this, I would bet on

Darren getting it the next time.

That's where the pressure comes on.

Up you come, beat your own.

I tell you what...

Well, he is going to come down to

here to try to wing this bowl off.

If he gets it right, the bowl will

disappear and then you have the

shots that he will score, of course,

well certainly this one. Not sure

about whether this one will be

counting but it might do. It's going

to be close.

Got it this time.

Yes, well-played.

That's the thing with Darren, I

don't expect him to miss with two

bowls.

APPLAUSE

One shot that I can feel.

Just the

one. He wasn't sure if it would

count but at this stage in the game

it was massive

Yes he was close with

the previous delivery but he is

perfect there.

Darren Burnett at his very best.

This is what he is so good at,

conversion shots. He had to get that

edge of the bowl and he got it

clean.

One shot to green it would've been

#-5 and the red team would have had

to score three shots. Now it is,

they only have to score one, John.

That was, in many respects probably

the bowl of the match.

It has

certainly given him a better

opportunity. They would have been

struggling chasing three. Now it's

anybody's set.

Come on, right up.

Right up now. Very good.

A good start.

A very good effort.

Becs will want

it get another one in there and

build the head. The last end was a

good example of what happens when

you don't have enough bowls around.

You knted rely on one bowl against

these guys.

No, not at this stage

now. You need some position.

APPLAUSE

Well, that's a very good one in

there.

Just wants it to go across out of

the way.

A good bowl but he didn't

want it right in front of the jack.

This is a one-end shootedout. They

might have to change tactics.

I

think he has decided he doesn't want

another close bowl. Anything past

where the green is, is good.

A little deeper than where he wanted

it, but it will be very useful.

Drop

off the wide bowl you will be very

close.

Very good try.

Well, better round there.

Jamie certainly will not be short.

No, it is difficult here for Darren

because if he does try to go for a

closer ball, he would widen the

target. There is a nice gap there at

the moment. He doesn't want to fill

that in.

that in. The angle is there actually

to take the two reds out. So, I

wouldn't be at all surprised if

Darren comes into this.

I think Jamie will go for this, two

bowls.

bowls.

Let's try and open it up,

chance to follow in it. Follow in

the jack.

Needs to be inside the red bowl. Oh,

he has got his own. Well, not bad

Slightly better.

He has good

position at the back now, Jamie.

That bowl is a target, the shot

bowl.

Well, what do you do now Darren, go

for another close bowl?

I think he

needs another one, I really do.

I do

as W I think if he leaves that bowl,

Jamie will be down at that, taking

it away.

He has to draw close.

Respot the left-hand side. A

distance away but still, it would

hold the shot. He needs another one

in.

It covers the respot but doesn't

give him the shot. You could say

Jamie could draw this. I don't think

there's any point, John. Because he

has got the last bowl of the end. He

has to be prepared to use T if he is

not prepared to use his bowl, then

he must draw it. -- if he is not

prepared. If he takes the bowl out,

Darren will certainly draw the shot.

Choice chos. -- choices.

It looks like he is drawing it.

He

is going for the match-win.

It doesn't look right to me. It

looks short. It is. He was looking

for even a very close second there

and he hasn't made it. If Darren

puts one on a foot jack-high out of

the way, John on the forehand.

I was

going to say, he doesn't want to go

alongside the other bowl. Playing

the forehand if he drops jack-high

on the other side to score.

Well, leaving the gap and forcing

Jamie into saying, you you have to

get the gap now, let's draw it.

That looks under, is it? It has to

run from there.

He has to go for the

bowl, now.

It is a drive now. I tell

you what, the plant isn't there as

well. But he has to drive this,

surely.

I'm not sure if I would've

swapped sides if I had been Darren.

He played the forehand in that

direction.

He has options here but

as is often the case, John, that's

an option if he is on the forehand.

The ideal option is to get the bowl

out clean.

Yes, too many things can happen. He

thoos play this straight and get the

bowl out. He doesn't want any

movement on the jack.

No the jack do

him any good both sides unless it

goes into the ditch but the respot

is covered by red. Oh, looks wide to

me.

Has he got the plant? He has. The

plant was on.

That was always possible. The plant

was an option.

was an option.

Well, a fantastic

game and it is Lesley do I and Jamie

Chestney who gets over the line. It

was marvellous entertainment. Over

two hours of great pleasure for

everybody watching that match. On

this occasion, Rebecca Field and

Darren Burnett just couldn't force

it through. They lay the second set

but the last bowl of Jamie Chestney

took it away and win it is by one

shot.

Well, we had fantastic bowls there,

no doubt about that. Drive the with

Jamie bringing the jack all the way

through for a single to make 3-1 for

the first set on the fourth end. And

Darren Burnett just dropping in to

make a double. That put them into

4-3 down but right in contention and

then it was a marvellous bowl for

Jamie. He made three with that on

the 7th end to go 7-3 in front.

This time it was Darren Burnett's

opportunity and he touched the jack

for a teleand then the last bowl of

Jamie on to the plant. Jack goes

through, takes the single, takes the

match and takes the title.

Well, you can see the combination of

Chestney and Doig. They played 11-7.

Scored heavily. That was the case

but total shots scored 15-10 coming

from the first set. 8-4. Touchers,

it doesn't really matter. We didn't

have any short jack lengths but

great conversion shots. It really

was a marvellous game.

RISHI: Well the four players here.

Darren and Rebecca. Obviously a

tough match but moments in there I'm

sure you would have felt you were

tough match but moments in there I'm

sure you would have felt you were in

a good position?

I thought we played

a really good final. It good game.

It could have went either way. Jamie

threw attacking bowls at the same

time. He was probably due a few from

this morning. He took them out this

afternoon. I thought all four

players played well. No complaints.

What were your thoughts on the

match?

Yes I'm getting fed up of you

interviewing me first this year.

Number four. Hopefully we can change

that later on in the week. I felt

the pace dropped off a bit during

the match and struggled a bit with

length but credit where it is due,

these two played well.

I will

remember that when we get to the

ladies' singles. Congratulations. We

were talking about the match who was

familiar with the blue rink and this

was less familiar to you, but you

are a champion now.

Yeah, it's

definitely been a little bit

different. You know playing with

Jamie, that has been a bit

unfamiliar so it has been learning

this and learning how reach other

play but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

You looked comfortable? Did you feel

comfortable?

No, I'm always shaking

like anything. I was glad that last

bowl was in Jamie's hands, not mine.

We will go through that last bowl if

you don't mind, Jamie, the sort

obviously at the top level you enjoy

having that challenge, what were you

thinking as you released it?

I felt

I was in the in the area. And Darren

was unfortunate with his last and

probably gave me a bit of a bigger

target with that plant being

available as well. It was a fairly

wide head to run into then, and

managed to get the perfect

connection.

You are sort of

underplaying it a bit and the one

that mattered most?

Yeah, yeah. I

shut my eyes and hoped for the best

it worked out all right.

Two

trophies in the space of 24 hours.

Yesterday you said when we were

interviewing you after the won the

pair was Mark you couldn't find the

words, you were feeling a little bit

overwhelmed. What about now?

I think

yesterday was quite a tense game and

at the end of the match, I probably

was a bit lost for words but after

that one was out of the way, just

really enjoyed this afternoon to be

honest. Like Darren said I thought

it was a good game of bowls, gave us

both leads played well and gave me

and Darren the opportunities to play

the shots we liked to play. I

thought it was a good game. Could've

gone either way.

Well-played.
