East Williamston started the seventh end with a 10 shot lead but Hook were now used to the mat and their lead player was drawing to the jack more consistently and, in doing so, started to chip away at the home sides advantage, taking 1 on the seventh, 1 on the eighth, 3 on the ninth, 1 on the tenth and 3 on the eleventh. Going into the final end Hook were one shot behind and were looking to get two for the win.

Another 1 to the home side on the sixth but disaster struck, for the home team, on the seventh end as, with very few bowls on the mat, Hook were holding six. East Williamston tried to break up the pack but unfortunately it didn't quite land and Hook doubled their score, adding a further 3 on the eighth. East Williamston did not give up, successfully taking 1 on the ninth and 1 on the final end but the seventh end had proved the decider. Dai, Stephen, Steve and Phill P played Rinks and with some great drawing shots, took 1 on the first end. Hook instantly replied with 4 on the second and 2 on the third. The home side took 2 on the fourth to narrow the gap, but another 2 on the fifth and 1 on the sixth extended Hooks lead further.
