NSW State Championships

Cootamundra Exies win State President’s Reserve Fours Title

Last week the NSW State Championships were played @ Ettalong Bowling Club on the state’s Central Coast. Last weekend Zone 8 were represented in the Fours by Young in the Open Fours, Wagga Rules in the Senior Fours and by Cootamundra Exies in the State President’s Reserve Fours. Both Young and Wagga Rules failed to win their sections which left the boys from Cootamundra to fly the flag for Zone 8 in the State President’s Reserve Fours.

In the semi-final on Sunday morning the team of Jason Jones, Geoff Manwaring, Terry Smith & Rocky Ford played Warilla and defeated them to set up a final against Parkes from Zone 4.

In the Final Cootamundra steadily built their lead throughout the match and held an unassailable lead on the 20th end of 19-10 to defeat Robert Irving, David Johnson, Col Mudie & Gary McPhee (Parkes B&SC).

Congratulations to Cootamundra on winning the inaugural State President’s Reserve Fours title and bringing another State title home to Zone 8.
