Almost made the semis

Sixteen-year-old Blake Butler from Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club just missed out on making the semi finals in NSW Junior Lawn Bowls Titles held recently.

Blake represented the Central Coast in the pairs.

He and his partner from Terrigal Country Club just missed out on making the semis by two shots.

The former Brisbane Water Secondary College student only took up the bowls three years ago with his father.

The father and son team of Blake and Paul Butler have shown tremendous potential after playing in the grade 7 Pennants with just two and a half years on the green.

Both were selected for the Zone Academy side while Blake recently was winner of the State Junior Presidents Pairs (under-15) with Darren Morrison.
