Women’s 2018 Fours

2018 Championship Fours

What a championship game this turned out to be. Winners for the past two years in this event versus a team consisting of 2 players who have never won a minor or major event. Previous champions Mandy Stitt, Sandra Warren, Donna Seddon and Lorraine Donney v Linda Nankervis, Bette McDonald, Maureen Ellison and Nikki Nesci.

The game started with Lorraine’s team racing to a 5 shot lead by the 5th end with Nikki’s team gaining ground to even the score by the 7th. Again Lorraine’s team gained the upper hand with some excellent bowling to have an 8 shot lead by the 11th. The game seemed all but over as the game reached the championship ends (the last 5 ends) as there was a sizable difference between the 2 teams of 9 shots. To their credit Nikki’s team employed a never say die attitude and with a change in strategy levelled the scores on the 20th end. It was still anyone’s game on the last end but with a stroke of luck Nikki’s team ran out victorious, winning the Championship Fours 21-19.

Congratulations to all players.

The spectactors were treated to an exciting and brilliant game.
