However, they kept their supporters on the edge of their seats, as although Cornwall ran out winners by 10 shots, they never had a comfortable ride, with one rink winning and one losing.
In the afternoon's final against a strong Derbyshire side, Cornwall, with the majority of their players not showing the form of which they are capable, suffered an early blitz, falling 19 shots behind after five ends.
They managed to claw this back to 10 at 15 ends. But as it transpired, this early setback led to their demise. With Mark Foster's rink winning by two and Mark Read's rink scoring over the last four ends, however, to finally lose by six, Cornwall managed to make the score more respectable, losing overall by only four.
