Bateau Bay bowls trio Terry Hughes, Graeme O’Donnell and Tony Shoebridge have won the NSW State Senior Triples Championship in Dubbo.

Following their Bowls Central Coast Triples Championship win, they travelled to Dubbo to play in the NSW championships.

The championships were played across three Dubbo clubs and began on Tuesday, March 12, with the NSW Multi-Disability Bowls and concluded on Wednesday, March 27, with the State Fours.

The Bateau Bay trio began their games on Monday March 18 winning their section with three solid wins (20-18, 27-20 and 23-17).

The semi-final was won 23-19 in a tight game against Temora.

The final played on March 20 proved to be a nail biter with the Bateau Bay team coming from behind to snatch victory on the last end 21-20 against the Sydney “super club” Taren Point.

Bateau Bay was well represented at the championships with teams competing in the multi-disability pairs and singles, mixed pairs, men’s pairs, senior men’s pairs, open reserve pairs, senior men’s singles and women’s fours.

The NSW Senior Triples Champions were presented with their championship shield and medals by Bowls NSW  Vice President John Ellison.
