Singles Championships
THE men’s and women’s championship Singles were played at the Port MacDonnell Bowling Club over the weekend.
With the men starting on Saturday, play was stopped at 11am due to the heat, but continued later in the day in the cooler conditions.
In the final, Chris Richards and Ron Cox locked horns, with the latter claiming the 2017-18 title.
Cox started well and was 11 shots up on Richards at one stage, before he came back to be only three shots down going into the last end.
However, Cox was able to score two shots and hence claim the win by five.
To reach the final, Cox defeated Bruce Bain in the semi final, while Richards accounted for Kel Butler.
For the women it was Heather Richards who secured the bragging rights on Sunday.
Up against Joy Bilney in the grand final, Richards continued her steady and accurate bowling to take out the women’s title for the season.
