Peter wins minor singles

Peter Gibbs has won the final of the Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club Minor Singles competition.

It was played on the weekend of September 29 and 30.

Both Peter and his competitor Joe Ednie had each been runners up in championship singles over the last two years.

Joe took the lead and was ahead 13-4 after nine ends.

However, Peter struck back to get within two shots of Joe on the 14th end.

The next few ends saw the combatants draw level at 18-all on the 19th end when Joe took control and led 27-19.

Peter then put his head down and won the next eight ends to lead 30-27 before Joe took three shots on the next end to make it 30-all.

"With both bowlers playing great bowls it was going to take a top bowl to decide the winner and Peter was able to take the shot and close down the game," said Umina Beach Men;s Bowling Club publicity officer Mr Ian Jarratt.

"It was an excellent game in front of a huge gallery of spectators."
