Despite bogeying the 17th and 18th holes, Elaine and Sophie finished with a round of 80 (42-38), the same total as their playing partners, the Aberdeen Ladies pair of Scottish indoor bowls international Kim Watt and Lauren Whyte, who lost out with an inward half of 40.

The best overall net score was 68 1/2 by youngster Nikita Lamond and E.M. MacIntyre of the McDonald Club Ellon, played off a handicap of 14 1/2.
Twenty-eight pairs took part.
