Ettalong bowler John Roberts has taken out the Bowls Central Coast Singles Championships. The championships were played at Terrigal Bowling Club.

A senior State representative player Roberts set the pace on March 17, with a fine display of singles play, defeating Terrigal’s Tony Shoebridge 31-19. Roberts showed his class and put his stamp of authority on the final from the outset constantly nailing the jack with his first bowl to put his opponent under pressure. It was Robert’s third Central Coast Senior Singles title and second consecutive win.

In the Blue Ribbon Open Singles, Terrigal’s Darren Morrison beat out Wyong’s Mark Wheatley and in the President’s Reserve Ourimbah’s Mark Cummings just beat home Bateau Bay’s Brendan Wrice for the title. Roberts, Morrison and Cummings will all contest the Bowls NSW State Championships to be held at Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club in September.
