NSW title for Western bowlers
THE Zone 4 team representing Mid-western, has won the prestigious 2021 NSW Junior Inter-zone seven-a-side Championships at Club Dubbo.
The local squad claimed their first Championship Shield in five years, a most pleasing result according to Club Dubbo Bowls Manager Anthony Brown.
“The Zone team overcame all-comers to inscribe their name on the shield alongside our 2010 and 2016 teams.”
The Championship Zone award is calculated on the performances of bowlers in each of the disciplines – Singles, Pairs and Fours.
“Our Fours, Tom Ashley (Trangie), Sam Bowman (Coonabarabran), Cooper Mcmullen (Dubbo Macquarie) and Tom Rich (Mudgee) won the gold medal after impressing throughout the two-day event,” Anthony explained.
“Rhys Hughes (Grenfell) and James Robinson (West Dubbo) took Silver in the Pairs, and Lachie Thompson (Gulgong) finished a creditable sixth in the Singles.”
Anthony was also excited with the performances of the second Zone 4 team which finished 11th overall.
“An excellent result considering the youthfulness of the side.’
Bowls NSW officials praised Club Dubbo which “proved, once again, to be magnificent hosts of the championships.”
The NSW Junior Sevens will return to Club Dubbo in 2022.
