Bowls: Kirkliston want to add Top Five to Top Ten

The final of the event, sponsored by the BARBQ clubs, promises to be a classic confrontation between Kirkliston and Newbridge. Kirkliston defend the title and bid to become the first club to complete a hat-trick of wins since the introduction of the Top Five in 1977. The record ten-times winners also target the Late Summer double having just recently captured the Top Ten title.

Newbridge have celebrated title wins on five occasions and this year's final is a re-run of 2009 with four of their players still to the fore in the shape of Thomas Mann, Alec Allan, Blair Mackie and Paul Sweeney.

The fifth member of the Newbridge team is stalwart figure Drew Paterson who reached the final of the recent WL Masters. Ian Robertson is the missing figure.

Kirkliston come into the final with a new look from last year with Calum Logan and his cousin Greg Logan lining up in place of Steven Forrest and John Aitken. The others are Grant Logan, Ray Logan and Neil Speirs.

Draw: Blair Mackie v Greg Logan, Paul Sweeney v Calum Logan, Drew Paterson v Neil Speirs, Alec Allan v Grant Logan, and Thomas Mann v Raymond Logan.
