International failure

Ettalong Bowling Club's Aron Sherriff was part of the Australian team that failed to clinch its first gold medal of the SA International Series in Adelaide during a tussle with its trans-Tasman rival.

The New Zealand contingent of Tony Grantham, Andrew Kelly, Richard Girvan and Ali Forsyth got off to a flying start, picking up four shots on the second and fourth ends to establish a commanding 8-2 lead.

The host nation's star-studded outfit of Asia Pacific Championships gold medallist Mark Berghofer, world number two Leif Selby, Australian Open pairs champion Nathan Rice and world number four Aron Sherriff were valiant in their attack, squaring the lead at 11-all with two ends remaining, but were unable to attain more than one shot on eight of their nine winning ends.
