Bowls win at home rink
Lloyd Bellis and Alan Quirke delighted their home club crowd with a close win in the Boon Hay club’s Lion professional indoor bowls pairs tournament on Saturday.
They beat Maurice and Paul Berkeley (Linwood Avenue) in a final which developed from a tight drawing game, with Bellis in complete control, to a tense 12-10 finish over the final ends.
Bellis came from 7-5 down with a single and two on the last two ends, to win his semi-final from Gary Lawson (Northcote), in a close-fought game.
Berkeley scored at will to secure his 9-2 semifinal win from Grant Lange (Shirley-St Albans W.M.C.).
The Australian style four-bowl pairs game proved a popular variation of play to the 48 teams invited to play in the tournament. The winners shared the $4OO top prize, with $2OO going to the runners up. Results: — 8 mats.—G. Lange 10, M. Watson 6; A. Williamson 6, J. Johns 4; W. Trembath 9, L. McLennan 2; M. Berkeley 13, B.
