Ross wins tight men’s singles championship final
The Men’s Annual Championship Singles was held at the Millicent Club on January 6 in very warm weather. Twenty-three players took part in the competition, with all games played to the first player in each game to reach 21 shots before the grand final played to 25 shots.
By the afternoon, going into the semi finals, the games had to be stopped due to lightning and heavy rain.
When they could get underway, they were contested between Peter Scanlon and David Taylor with Scanlon earning his way into the championships decider and in the other semi final Eddie Hann and Wayne Ross battled it out with Ross earning a grand final berth.
Due to the inclement weather, the final was delayed for a day until January 7. was played on Sunday 7.
Up to the eighth end, the score was neck and neck, with Ross one shot up, 7-6 and the high standard bowling continued with Ross securing the victory target on the 22nd end.
