Congratulations to Warren Cocksedge (Taree Leagues) who has returned from the recent Australian Police Championships in Coolangatta with the Singles trophy.
In the semi-final Warren defeated the current NSW Police Singles Champion, and in the final he was too good for fellow New South Welshman and defending champion GaryTrick. Warren said it was a game where everything turned to gold, and he led all the way to run out a 25-15 winner.
Forster bowler Shannon White has won the 2021 C of C singles, defeating Matt Pierce from Harrington 31-27. Matt led by as many as 10 shots mid way through this match, and nearing the finish led by 27-19. Shannon however came home like a rocket, scoring 12 shots to nil over the last 5 ends to take out the title.
We wish Shannon the best of luck in the State finals.
The team of Aaron Kelly (sub Joe Pfiefer) and Jason Cassidy from Gloucester have taken out the 2021 Zone 11 C of C Pairs Championship. They defeated Warren Cocksedge and Bob Hagan 17-13 in the final at Tuncurry Beach Bowling Club.
A great effort from one of our smaller clubs.
Good luck in the State finals in June.
The Forster duo of Claire Kelly and Shannon White have Taken out the final of the State Mixed Pairs.
They defeated the Neutral Bay/North Sydney pairing of Midori Matsuoka and Kenta Treacher 13-10.
In a see-sawing game where shots were exchanged and heads converted on a regular basis, the Forster team scored a massive 3 to give them a 13-6 lead with just 2 ends to play. With multiples hard to come by, this was just too much to overcome for their opposition.
Congratulations to Claire and Shannon.
