The first 12 ends were even, with Chris leading 10 to 9. However, Chris was to get stuck on 10 for the next six ends while Terry charged away to an 11 shot lead, making the score 21 to 10.

It was a winning lead for Terry and although Chris played some nice bowls, he was not able to recover and Terry was able to go on to an easy 31 to 17 win.

Minor Pairs Semi-Final

Matt Peisley and John Brownhill defeated Jake Fisher and Tom Hawkins 21 to 19.

A very good game of bowls with all players in good form and it was not until the very last end that the match was won by Matt and John when they scored one shot to win a very close game.

Major Pairs

Tony Fisher and Graham Murray defeated Alan Tobin and Danny Vincent 23 to 15.

There was not a lot in it at the halfway mark with Tony and Graham leading by two shots 12 to 10.

Over the next four ends, Tony and Graham gained a winning break of 21 to 10; and although Alan and Danny played well, they never looked likely to run the winners down.

Brian Gibson and Tony Zervos defeated Warren Chesworth and Peter Burns 19 to 16.

Another close match, with no more than a couple of shots the difference between the two teams; who were all in fine form.

With two ends to play Brian and Tony led by one shot at 17 to 16. They were able to maintain their lead by picking up two shots to win a close one. Great to see Peter back on the green.

South West District Mixed Pairs Championship:

Last Saturday, Tom and Robyn Apps and Kelly Daley travelled to the Cootamundra Country Club to play in the SW District Mixed Pairs Championship.

It is a state event played in four sections; two matches of five ends and one extra end to get a result should both teams win one match.

Tom and Robyn were able to win their section and go on to win the semi-final and final and will now play in the zone final in Wagga Wagga on July 8.

Kelly, who played with Geoff Debritt was most unlucky not to make the final. They won their section, but were knocked out by one shot in the semi-final
