Cory Daley has won his third consecutive Park Beach Major Singles Championship, adding to his club, district, zone and state achievements. Cory defeated a dogged opponent in Jim Phillips, a Grade 5 Pennants player who was taking part in his first Major Singles Final. Jim frustrated Cory in the early stages of the game, taking shot with his last bowl on many occasions. But Cory was in the zone later in the game, winning 31-17.
A good crowd was on hand, with strong support for both players.

2017 MEN’S MAJOR PAIRS

Kent Price (skip) and Craig Donaldson have taken out the 2017 Park Beach Major Pairs Championship after an enthralling contest against Rod Farmer and Rick Southam. After a slow start, Farmer and Southam rallied, and for most of the game there was little more than a shot or two between two teams with an armoury of shots for every occasion. At the end of the game, the scores were locked at 21-21, and an extra end was played. Craig Donaldson took the mat, and his first bowl was a wresting toucher. Rod Farmer replied by moving the jack, but it went to his opponents bowls, and Rod and Rick were unable to draw a shot, and Price and Donaldson won 22-21. It was a great game to watch, and there was a good crowd on hand to enjoy a quality game of bowls.
