Day one of the 30th Golden Nugget (August 8 – 11) has wrapped up, with some very close games being played.
Queenslanders Paul Girdler and Lynsey Clarke both managed wins in round one, Girdler 25 -19 against Aaron Wilson (Vic), and Clarke snatched a close 25 – 22 victory over fellow Jackaroo Anne Johns (NSW).
Broadbeach’s Chloe Stewart was just edged out after a ferocious battle 24 – 25 against Australia’s No 1 women bowler Natasha Scott (NSW).
Ryan Bester, Stephen Halmai, Kelvin Kerkow and Brett Wilkie all missed out on a win in the first round.
