Southland indoor bowlers snatch zone final win
In a tense finish, Southland indoor bowlers beat Canterbury by one game to win the South Island zone final of the A. S. Patterson Trophy.
The final score was Southland 32 points, Canterbury 30, and Nelson finished bottom of the group with 22. Nelson started particularly well, winning both their first-round fours, but by the half-way mark Southland had closed the gap to just one point, with three pairs wins to Nelson’s two. The singles games were evenly divided. In the second round, however, Nelson could not sustain their effort, losing both of the fours games. Canterbury required at least four wins in the second round but could only manage three, with the last game ending in a tie to give Southland the match.
