AWRE and Hook Sapphires will battle it out the final of the Stan Hardman Bowls League at Old Basing.

Last week’s semi-finals saw Hook Sapphires beat Odiham D 53-50 on shots and four points to three. AWRE outplayed Odiham X, winning 64-39 and taking all seven points.

Howard Park took all five points from their last Whitchurch League Division One match against Oakley A (59-37) and it was enough to send St Mary Bourne down, despite their win at Hyde Abbey (58-32).

Basingstoke Town Spades were crowned champions and they will be the first name on the new trophy, with Oakley runners-up.

Old Basing Cavaliers won Division Two, with St Mary Bourne Eagles and Oakley B being relegated.

Hyde Abbey B are the Division Three winners on shot difference, edging out Littleton Lemurs. Oakley C and Friary drop down.

Old Basing Roundheads and Whitchurch Blues won promotion from Division Four.

In the Basingstoke District Bowling Association Division One, Kingsclere are the champions on shot difference over Oakley.

Howard Park caused an upset in the their final game as they took all five points at Oakley in a 72-51 victory.

Alton were in quite a strong place to retain their Division One status, but losing to already-relegated St Mary Bourne (57-54) and Alton Social (57-44) has seen them slip into Division Two.

Division Two winners were Whitchurch and they will be joined by Andover in the top flight next season.
