The Handicap Pairs championship is an opportunity for newer bowlers and social bowlers to be competitive, by giving each player a handicap to level the contest.

After five ends Brian and Mark had caught up and levelled the score at nine all. The score then see-sawed. At the thirteenth end Neville and Max were behind 17 to 14.
But Neville and Max were not to be denied and Neville with great lead bowls regularly drew a close shot and Max consistently consolidated the head.
Try as they might Brian and Mark could not convert and Neville and Max went on to win the last five ends and the game.
