Rowan Fuller became the youngest ever Dixon & Driscoll Doubles winner after teaming up with Sian Skelton, who became the first person to hold both this and the Mixed Doubles titles at the same time.
They ran out from 18-7 down on Chris Dodds & Emmet McKinley playing some inspired bowls in the final.
In the Semi Finals Chris & Emmet were 11-6 up on Alan Davidson & Steve Handley but went 20-17 up, however Chris & Emmet ran out. The other Semi saw Sian & Rowan go 16-2 up on Lucy Evans & Tony Garmson but then found themselves 18 across. However they held their nerve to get a three next end.
