State Fours Champions Crowned
Kane Nelson has made it three from three State Titles for the past week teaming up with Tyler Pettigrew, Cody Gerick and Brad Piper to win the State Men’s Fours at Club Musgrave. The final was a close affair until Nelson’s rink strung together three counts of four in a row to break away, they went on to defeat Scott DeJongh-Fitzpatrick, Isaac Maughan, Brett Wilkie and Adam White 22-12. This was a part rematch of last year’s final where Nelson defeated DeJongh-Fitzpatrick, Wilkie and White with three other players, back-to-back fours titles for Nelson.
After being all tied up at the completion of the Bronze Medal play off, Chris Rosanes, Brendan Wilson, Ryan Burnett and Aaron Hewson overcame Ron Keating, Darren Black, Damien Delgado and Shane O’Toole 19-18 on an extra end.
In the Women’s Final Kira Bourke, Lynsey Clarke, Chloe Stewart and Kelsey Cottrell survived a last bowl thriller to defeat Gail Meng, Merril Ahern, Rhonda Meng and Jenny Blundell 14-13. Blundell’s team held a small lead for most of the game until they were 11 all after 16 ends, they were then 12 all after 18 and 13 all after 20 with one end to play. It was close on the last end until Stewart drew the shot and Blundell was unable to dislodge it, Gold to Cottrell’s girls in a high-quality affair that could have gone either way.
In the Bronze Medal game, Yvonne Lovelock, Tilly Orero, Emma Boyd and Candice Ayton defeated Serena Bonnell, Adele Pershouse, Heather Hodgson and Serena Matthews 19-16.
