Bowls: Betty adds spice to Chichester's finals day

She built up a good lead at the start of the game before Adams closed the gap to three shots.

Spicer bowled a superb last wood to take the shot she needed to win 21-17.

Chris Hobbs played Rosemary Manning in the handicap competition and eventually pulled away to win 26-6.

In their second final of the day, Adams and Hobbs met in the 100up. This proved the closest match of the day with the scores even throughout - and with both reaching 100 together, three extra ends were needed to determine Adams as the eventual winner.

In the two-wood Mary Potter played Adams. The first five ends were evenly matched before Adams pulled away to win 17-8 after 19 ends.

Jean Hole and Mary Potter won the drawn pairs after a round-robin competition with Rosemary Manning and Bridget Collins the runners-up.
