Camperdown opened their account with a single on end three but Glenormiston responded with a single and a double on the next two ends to take the lead 5-1 after five ends.
But it only takes one end to right the ship and on end six, Camperdown bagged a quad to level the playing field and then a single on end seven to take the lead.

The counter was a double on end eight to Timboon Lawn to re-take the lead, however Glenormiston locked it all up on end nine with a single at ten all.
They say it only takes one end to change a match and for Timboon Lawn, end ten was a boon for them scoring a fiver, followed by a single on the next end to lead by four shots with half as many ends to go.
A double to Glenormiston on the penultimate end, left them with a chance on the last end.
Glenormiston lost to Timboon Lawn 14-19.
Congratulations to the 2022 Association Fours Champions Timboon Lawn – Lara Mungean, Jim Mungean, Jacoba Mungean and Murray Lucas-Mungean and well done to the runners-up Glenormiston – Jenny Meade, David Ham, Jim Wallace, Scott Pierce.
