Gold struck again

Reigning International Bowler of the Year Aron Sherriff, of Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club, has once again struck gold and led the Australian men's team to overall victory in the Eight Nations Challenge played in Glasgow as a lead up to the Commonwealth Games in 2014.

Aron's gold in the men's singles was the culmination of a strong week by the Aussie Jackaroos of Mark Casey, Brett Wilkie, Nathan Rice, Wayne Ruediger, Barrie Lester and Matthew Flapper who claimed the overall gold medal across all four disciplines.

Sherriff, Rice and Lester won gold medal in the men's triples, silver medal in the fours on the penultimate day's play and in the pairs earlier in the tournament.

Prior to this event the Aussie team played a familiarisation quadrangular event against New Zealand and two Wales sides in Wales and made all four finals.

Upon his return to home soil Aron said: "The three week tour had been a great learning curve and exceeded all expectations."
