Rigby and Henry Win State Mixed Pairs
Maria Rigby and Jeremy Henry have won an epic battle in a last bowl thriller over defending champions Bolivia Millerick and Kane Nelson.
In a marathon gold medal match, which took over four hours, both teams traded the lead numerous times throughout the contest. Neither team could break away with Millerick and Nelson taking a one-shot lead into the last end. Rigby and Henry peppered the jack with the defending champions unable to convert, Rigby and Henry claimed five shots to clench victory 19-15.
This was the first Queensland State Title for Henry who recently moved to Queensland to take on the Bowls Manager role at Club Kawana. Another State title for Rigby who won her last in the fours in 2020.
Tracy Foster and Matt Norrie took out the Bronze Medal after defeating Lisa Bryant and Shane Greentree in their playoff. The game was in the balance early until Foster and Norrie picked up a six and broke away to win 24-10.
