After being hampered by a heavy thunderstorm the finals of the Champion of Club Champions Fours event drew to an early conclusion, after the required 16 ends of play to constitute a game, due to the extreme weather conditions which plagued large much of South East Queensland.
Despite bowls fans having their spirits dampened by the games being cut short, the standard of play in the finals provided plenty of compensation, with some quality bowls played by the finalists.
In the men’s competition Club Helensvale’s Matthew Lucas, Sam White, Mark Casey and Aron Sherriff won 20-12 over the plucky South Townsville contingent of Don Zahner, Peter Sturzaker, Gary Polkinghorne and Steve Mottin.
While in the playoff for third Mooloolaba’s Lou Dalakis, John Thain, Jay Globits, Paul Henricks snatched the bronze medal out of the grasp of Bioela’s Graham White, Geoffey Geall, Shane McCrohon and Robert Huggers with a 23-8 victory.
In the women’s competition, it was another awesome display of Gold Coast talent by Broadbeach’s Cassandra Millerick, Sue McKenzie, Dee-Anne Robertson and Bolivia Millerick who battled through the weather to finish the game 16-10 over Club Kawana’s Pauline Laverty, Marion Hewish, Noela Whitton who were skipped by Marilyn Emerton.
