Adamson got away to a great start in the final running into a 15-7 lead before Pryce came back to 13-15.

Adamson then won four ends on the trot to go 20-13 ahead of his rival.

Once again Pryce came back to 19-20.

A loose lead then from Pryce saw Adamson capitalise with a great touching wood that got the final point needed to win 21-19.

Borough Chairman Pete Charter presented the prizes to the players.
