John Haslam played in the Spencer Ell to replace Ian Lines who was promoted to the Chairman's Salver at the last minute.

In the play-off, Duncan won +9 in a fairly tense encounter. Chris clipped the peg and ended up cross-wired from his hoop 5 pioneer having done one peel of a standard 7th turn tp and never really got going after that.

Duncan, at 64, now becomes the first and second oldest winner of the Spencer Ell Cup. He last won in 1992.

The players dubbed this the Pensioner's Eight, with 5 of the players over 60 and none under 40. At least one of the lunchtime discussions centred on which medications they were all on.

Conditions were getting quite difficult by the end with strong wind and driving rain. The start of the game coincided with an excellent display from the Red Arrows, the RAF's display team. Unfortunately the poor weather meant that the Lancaster again did not show.
