Bowls News - October long weekend
The final of the B-grade Singles Championships was contested on Thursday, October 2.
This match was played between Maxine Elsom and David Duffy. This game was always going to be an evenly matched contest with both bowlers having a handicap of six, so it was going to come down to who happened to play the best on the day.
Maxine had the early lead 6-2 after six ends when Duffy clicked into gear in winning five of the next six ends and hit the lead 13-8.
As Elsom hit a bit of a slump Duffy stretched the lead out to 19-11 after 19 ends. Over the last eight ends Elsom gained 10 shots to Duffy’s six and actually hit the lead 20-19 on the 23rd end.
Duffy claimed three of the last four ends to run out the eventual winner of the much sort after B-grade singles title, 25-21, 14 ends to 13. Congratulations David Duffy.
