Slow start continues for Tasmania Tridents
Things haven’t gone as well as hoped for the Tasmania Tridents at Bowls Premier League #17 which is being played at the Moama Bowling Club this week with the Tridents winning just one of their first seven games but will take confidence from winning their final two games of day two to finish the day in last position.
In their first game today, the Tridents played well but couldn’t get over the line against the Morteton Bay Pirates drawing the first set 5 all and narrowly losing the second set 3-4.
The Tridents recorded their first win of the competition in spectacular style in their second game today against the Gold Coast Hawks winning the first set 8-2 and trailed 1-6 after four ends of the second set before scoring six shots on the final end thanks to a great shot from Taelyn Male to win the second set 7-6.
The Tridents third game of the day against Tweed Heads Osprey was live streamed on the Bowls Australia Facebook page and went to a tiebreaker. The Tridents won the first set in a very tight game 3-2 but lost the second set 5-8 before losing the tie breaker 0-1.
In their final game on day two, which was shown live on Fox Sports and Kayo, the Tridents lost in straight sets to Melbourne Extreme 2-5 and 5-7.
