However, the Walkers got back with nine shots over the following three ends leaving time for only one more end to play Collinson and Fennell tantalisingly fell one short and lost 9-8.

Kevin Harris and Sheila Turpin retained the Plate when they beat Alan and Pat Potter 12-0 in the final. Earlier Turpin and Harris had lost their first two group games but won their last narrowly beating the Potters 6-4.
