Aron wins silver

Ettalong Bowling Club's Aron Sherriff won silver with Leif Selby in the men's pairs event at the 27-nation World Bowls Championship held in Adelaide from November 24 to December 9.

The pair lost to Scotland's Alex Marshall and Paul Foster 13-18 and, while disappointed not to win gold, Sherriff said a silver medal was no easy feat.

"They're multiple world champions, and they proved that again today," Sherriff said.

"They played the big bowls at the crucial times and were far too consistent for us.

"It's disappointing, but the silver medal, alongside my other two, will be cherished for sure," said Sheriff.

The loss marked the nation's first medal at the World Championships as silver.

Sherriff competed in the men's fours final on Friday, December 7, but results were not available at the time Peninsula News went to print.
