Open Gender Senior Pairs Final

The Open Gender Senior Pairs Final was played on Tuesday morning, and it certainly lived up to expectations. Ross Swain and Joe Baliva took on Noel Benson and Paul Bryan in a thrilling contest. Ross and Joe made the early running, opening up a 10–3 lead midway through the match. However, Noel and Paul fought their way back to level the scores and force an extra end.

The deciding end was just as tense as the rest of the match, with both teams creating chances. In the end, Noel and Paul held their nerve to claim a thrilling 14–13 victory.

Congratulations to Noel and Paul on winning the Open Gender Senior Pairs Championship and well done to Ross and Joe on a fantastic performance in a final worthy of the occasion.
