The knock-out comp was held at the Taree Leagues Bowling Club on Monday, June 26.
Now, in its third year this open competition is proving popular with students as an exciting sport to play.
A one game knock-out on the greens resulted in three teams heading to the district finals scheduled for September 18.
Enjoyment, competitive play, quality bowls, teamwork, and sportsmanship were the skills displayed during the two sets of eight ends with a ‘shoot-out’ end. With a number of first time bowlers the standard of play lifted in the second set on all rinks.
This was highlighted in the Taree v GLC Forster game. The Taree number two team (all girls) came from a heavy loss in the first set to lead the second set until the final bowl in what was best described as a ‘nail biter’ just an exciting finish to the day.
The three winning teams in Taree High number one and GLC Forster number one and two teams now join Wingham High at the Manning District finals in September.
Congratulations to all in what was a terrific day.
Special mention to GLC Tuncurry in entering, for the first time two teams that were a credit to their schools as were the entire group of students as acknowledged by the regional co-ordinator from Newcastle in Warren Boyd.
