Day 1 – 2023 STATE CHAMPION OF CLUB CHAMPIONS PAIRS FINALS

by Bowls QLD

At Souths Suburban Bowls Club, Mackay

Defending champions Mark Armstrong & Nic Gosley from Pialba and Club Tweed’s Claire Turley & Lynsey Clarke both lead their respective sections after two wins on day 1. The Pialba pair snuck home in a see-sawing battle with Airlie Beach’s Harry Quod & Armando Isgro by 2 shots in the afternoon game while Club Tweed defeated Hamilton’s Jane Bush and Emma Spicer to be the only team unbeaten in their section.

Section 2 of the men’s has two teams undefeated, Algester’s Martin Carloss & Glen Pitts along with Club Kawana’s Geoff Harrison & Kurt Brown who are set to do battle in the third and final round tomorrow morning to determine the section winner. Algester staged a remarkable comeback from 9-20 down against Belmont Services’ Jacob & Kane Nelson to win 21-20 in round 1.

Christine Murdoch & Adele Pershouse from Bargara lead the women’s section 2 and are the only undefeated team leading into the third and final round tomorrow morning. Medal rounds will follow in the afternoon.
