The duo defeated John Attwood and Ash McDonell, from Tatura, 24 to 8.

The game was originally scheduled to be played at Shepparton Golf, but was transferred to East Shepparton Bowls Club due to the rain that fell on March 21, the day the match was played.

In the final the Shepparton Golf pair got away to a 9-1 lead after five ends and never gave up that lead to win by 16 shots.

In the semi-final, Stokes and King defeated Tallygaroopna's Matt Robertson and Guy Madigan 18 to 13 and Attwood and McDonell defeated Euroa's Ken Sutcliffe and Andy Houston 14-13 to make it to the final.
