THE Mount Gambier RSL Bowling Club completed its Ladies Championship Triples, with seven strong teams entering the competition.
The format for the first rounds consisted of 15 ends of two bowls and the teams with the most shots progressed to the next round.
One team received a bye into the semi-finals where they were joined by first-round winners.
The semi-finals saw Fiona Pearson, Merna Whitehead and Julie Beaman up against Eileen Cruise, Karen Doman and Liz Schroeder.
Pearson’s team was off to a good start and went to a 12-1 lead before Cruise’s team fought back strongly and with one end to go had reduced the deficit to 12-9.
However, the last end saw Pearson draw another shot to run out claimt he win for her team 13-9.
In the other semi-final Veronica Opie, Jane Crowder and Nancy Horrigan were up against Jenny Bowering, Shirley Gifford and Kath Hearne.
A close encounter between the two teams resulted in a final score of 15-10 to the Opie team which put them into the final.
The final changed the format to best of 18 ends and saw the Pearson team off to a good start and go to a 7-3 lead.
However, that was effectively the end of their final as Opie’s side turned up the volume and produced some excellent bowling to forge ahead and run out 24-8 victors.
