Popular Stories

KILMORE bowling duo Kevin Mayberry and Trevor Young claimed Ballarat Highlands Bowls Region men’s over 60s pairs region final on Thursday, beating their Sebastopol opponents.

Mayberry and Young had earned the right to represent Highlands Bowls and compete against a Ballarat representative pair, Sebastopol’s Murray Gannon and Noel Sutherland, after an earlier win over Kyneton in the knockout tournament.

In the 15-end game played at Kyneton Bowling Club, the Kilmore pair adjusted to the slower pace of the green due to the earlier rain and consistently drew shots causing the Sebastopol pair to play weighted into the head with mixed results.

It was the five scored on the ninth end that played a pivotal part of the game giving the Highland’s representative side the momentum to go on for a final win.

It was then further enhanced by the four shots Mayberry and Young received on the 13th end, with the final result being 19 to 12 shots in favour of the Kilmore bowlers.
