State titles brought home

MEN’S SINGLES: State Champion Tony Bowditch and runner-up Patrick Falckh.

THE Limestone Coast was well represented on the weekend in the state’s capital as 11 Mount Gambier and District indoor bowlers travelled to Adelaide to compete in the South Australian State Singles Championships.

Six males and five females competed, with Mount Gambier members winning both the men’s and women’s singles.

Zac Pearson, Coehen Keppels and Jos Breuker were eliminated in the first round.

Craig Pearson and Gary Bowering then lost their second-round matches, leaving Tony Bowditch to represent the South East.

Bowditch won his next game to advance to the final to play Patrick Falckh from Adelaide.

He claimed the victory and with it the 2023 State Men’s Singles Championship.

The women’s competition saw Nicola Bowditch, Jennifer Bowering and Fiona Pearson all lose their first games.

Keisha Pearson made it through to the second round with Serena Bourn, but was unsuccessful to advance to the next round.

Bourn won her way through to the final to beat Jodie Hawke from Broken Hill to claim the 2023 State Ladies Singles Championship.
