Creating the atmosphere was music from a boom box playing band Thunder and Lightning – they characterised with hard-hitting vocals, delicate solos and pounding drums.  The bowls from the players were characterising the band with hard-hitting voices of support, delicate shots and pounding drives! 

It was a great final with the win and club bragging rights for the year being claimed by the Lightning. Go The Park.
