Bowling Arm Pairs Champions Crowned
The Tasmanian Bowling Arm Championships have been held for the second time in 2020. The final was held today at the Trevallyn Bowls Club between Geoff Munro and Kevin Booth versus Joe Reissig and Ian Morley (substituting for Noel Carlon who is out injured).
Reissig and Morley playing on their home ground at Trevallyn got out to an early lead in the final to be in front 9-1 after just 4 ends. However Munro and Booth held strong to take the lead 12-11 after 9 ends of the 15 end game. However the Trevallyn duo scored a 5 on the 10th end which saw them back in front 16-12.
But it was Munro and Booth, both from Brighton Bowls Club, that went on to score 9 shots over the next 4 ends to take out the Tasmanian Bowling Arm Pairs title 21-19.
Congratulations to both teams on a hard fought final.
