Boyle and Diffey met the home side of Stephen Broad and Norm Honey in the final and overcame a slow start to produce a 20-14 victory in heavy conditions.

The Swampie duo dropped the first three ends to find themselves 8-0 down and still trailed 11-3 after seven.

However, the next five ends went the way of the Henty side as they clawed it back to 11-all on 12 ends.

Four of the next six ends were won by Boyle and Diffey as they opened up a handy 18-13 lead with three to play.

Single shots went to either side on ends 19 and 20, meaning Broad and Honey required five to tie or six to win on the final end, and, although they came close, Boyle and Diffey held onto one shot to clinch it, 20-14.

"We came out after lunch and we didn't have a roll-up. We thought we'd get straight into it just the way the weather was looking, but we dropped a four, a three and a one the first three ends and we were 8-0 down," Boyle said.

"The boys got away from us a bit, but we gradually pegged them back and got in front.

"We pegged them back and got to 11-all and it was end for end for a little bit and then we got to 14 and won a couple of ends in a row.

"They had a chance on the last end. We were holding one but if they took our bowl out they could have got five or six and drawn it."

Boyle and Diffey got past Howlong's Phil Slater in the semi-finals, while Broad and Honey defeated Lavington's Darcy Burge, 23-14.

"The green was pretty heavy, you nearly had to bowl overarm in the morning," Boyle laughed.

"Bruce bowled really well and he just turned 80 a couple of weeks ago."

It was Boyle's second victory in the tournament, having previously triumphed with George Beckett.

Boyle and Diffey will now represent the district at the Zone 8 Champion of Champions pairs at Narrandera on December 5 and 6.
