Paul Schofield and David Edwards, being the winners in their respective blocks, played the final on Sunday, resulting in David winning 17-12.
The Trophy was donated by Stephen and Margaret Read who are keen members of the club.
High bisquers are players with a relatively high handicap so likely to be fairly new to the game.
