| Umina’s Roger Twells BCC-Z15 Veteran Singles Champion 2017 |
The Veteran Singles final between Wyong’s Alan Carpenter and Umina Beach’s Roger Twells played at Munmorah United BC on Friday 7th July turned into a tight tussle with both bowlers poised to take out the title. Carpenter
who trailed 15-8 clawed his way back into contention at 15-17 and both
bowlers were within reach of the magical 21 target at 18-20. Carpenter
was then holding game with three shots sitting behind the jack only to
see Twells draw the absoluter with his last bowl to snare the title
21-18.
It was an entertaining
game befitting of a final and both bowlers put down some lovely draw
bowls. However, Twells was on target with his last bowl and more times
than not converted when he was down as indeed he did once more with his
last bowl to take out the title.
Seventy
three (73) year old Twells only took up the game since he retired a
few years ago and was as proud as punch to capture his first bowl’s
title especially at Zone level
