Andy Scott with Joan Edwards and John Wilkinson were fairly evenly matched throughout but then found the green to be well up after eleven ends and finished winners at 26-7.
On Wednesday 8 September, Henley travelled to Flackwell Heath Bowling Club only for the event to be cancelled as the rain continued to fall all afternoon. There were no matches at the weekend so the Club used to time to tidy up the flower beds and hedges and to start preparing for closing down the green at the end of September although there are still four more matches to be played.
