Steve Stockley and John Goddard are a game away from the London & Southern Counties Pairs title after the Parson's Green stalwarts beat a duo from Hertfordshire 21-11 in the semi-final with three ends to spare on Friday.

The Parson's Green pair are no stranger to success in the competition. Five years ago as part of the winning PG fours team they lifted their first L&SC title.

The final is on September 6 at Bounds Green Bowling Club in north London.
