What a great finish for the singles such a great game, neck and neck all the way. Adrian Stoeckel put in some fantastic bowls along with Peter Doreen keeping the crowd cheering and oohing.
However this year's winner of the singles in the 2026 Winter Carnival is Peter Doreen.
Well done Adrian for keeping him on his toes.
