Gripping one-point thriller on greens
A GRIPPING one point thriller stole the spotlight on 30 May, when David Leach edged out John Phillips 25-24 in a pulsating men’s singles championship match that went right down to the last end.
After 25 fiercely contested ends, Leach held his nerve to secure the narrowest of victories in one of the standout contests of the season.
On the same day, the men’s pairs produced a very different storyline, with Doug Juhas and Warren Sinclair delivering a commanding 24-9 win over David Leach and Joe Van Tienen in their championship round. Juhas and Sinclair controlled the match from the outset, showcasing consistency and precision across the board.
Thursday afternoon social bowls on 4 June brought another close finish, with the team of Hayden Hohnke, Matt Aucello and Vince Cooper taking the win on 23 points.
Hot on their heels were runners up Wayne O’Neill, Sam Pagano and John Fossey, who finished just one point behind on 22.
