State Pairs Champions for 22/23
Bowls SA Finals Week has kicked off with a bang, with the men’s and women’s State Pairs Champions crowned after a big two days of competition.
Yesterday saw the final 16 teams in both competitions face off at Torrensville, with C. Eichenberger (Berri)/C. Nicholls (Mt Barker), J. Kotz (Keith)/C. Greenslade (Riverton), M. Chandler (Moonta)/D. Dennis (Pt Broughton), and S. Maddern (Hahndorf)/J. Prosser (Hawthorn) all winning their way through to the semi-finals.
The four teams did battle this morning at Lockleys, with Kotz/Greenslade defeating Eichenberger/Nicholls by just one shot, while Madder/Prosser had a slightly more comfortable win over Chandler/Dennis, by four shots.
The class of Kotz/Greenslade was on full display in the final, as they claimed a 12-shot victory over Maddern/Prosser.
The final four pairs in the men’s competition had a strong country feel, with B. Fidock (Marion)/ L. Brennan (McLaren Vale), R. Zadow/ R. Tomkinson (Karoonda), B. Davis/C. Hicks (Adelaide), and D. Steinwedel (Kingscote)/P. Cullen (Pt Elliot) winning their way through the final 16 and quarter finals.
Both semis were thrilling matches decided by just one-shot respectively, with Fidock/Brennan defeating Zadow/Tomkinson, while Davis/Hicks were too strong for Steinwedel/Cullen.
The trend of exciting finishes continued in the final, with Fidock/Brennan coming away with a one-shot victory over Davis/Hicks.
Bowls SA would like to thank the Torrensville and Lockleys Bowling Clubs, and their volunteers for hosting the past two days of action.
