Teenager defeats Sherriff
A 16-year-old Trevallyn bowler Michael Sims has defeated Ettalong's Aron Sherriff in the Australian Open Men's Singles competition on Monday, February 18.
Sims won the match 6-5, 7-8, 6-1 and, in doing so, earned high praise from his more experienced opponent.
"Michael was fantastic today. He thoroughly deserved the win," Sherriff said after the match.
"He is one of the up-and-coming talents in Australia. It's great to see him playing in events like this, and I will get to see more of him at the Trans Tasman in a couple of weeks.
"It's disappointing not to go further, but that's the way it goes."
