Harley makes junior finals

Harley McDonald from Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club joined Terrigal's Ben Bourne in a close match for the Junior Championship title.

McDonald and Bourne played against Rys Holbrook and Shane Rixom from Toukley District for the Junior Pairs title last month.

Junior bowls development officer Mr Terry Nielson congratulated both teams on a "wonderful" exhibition of bowling under lights on a holding green, and "very chilly" conditions.

"[The match] was a great example of the high standard of junior bowls on the Central Coast with the game all tied up going into the last end," Mr Nielson said.

According to Mr Nielson the "diminutive duo" of Harley McDonald and Ben Bourne had come home strongly after the closing end.

"In the end, Rys and Shane steadied to score two vital shots on the last end to take out the 2007 pair's title," Mr Nielson said.
