Last Sunday saw the culmination of the Women's Pairs event with the final played between the pairings of Etsuko MacKessack & Janet Swan and Chelsea Farley & Tessa Farley.
Pleasing to see the Women's junior players starting to come to the fore with 3 of the finalists being Year 1-5 bowlers.
The Farley pairing lead out strongly from the start and held challenging 10-0 lead. Better bowling from the MacKessack & Swan pairing and some inexperience saw the Farley pairing drop a 6 and a 2 in consecutive ends to have the game tighten up and give the appreciative supporters more interest as to how the final ends would unfold.
The balance of the game saw fairly even scoring, with the Farley pairing having small edge in scoring multiple point ends and ran out winners 18 -14.
An absorbing final, and it bodes well for the balance of the Women's program that the mix of experienced and junior bowlers will see more good finals to come.
