At the close, four teams had won four out of their five games, with all four finishing with eight points each.

Final results: 1 Bredon A 57 (shots for), 27 (shots again), 30 (shots difference); 2 Aston A 57, 30, 27; 3 Overbury A 55, 32, 23; 4 Evesham A 47, 41, 6.

Geoff Hinton said: “A very big thank-you must go to Bredon Bowls Club for staging the 2017 gala day event and all those who helped out, including, bar staff, catering staff, ground staff and competition organisers.

“All the bowls clubs must also be thanked for managing to provide competing teams.”
