Locals win zone singles bowls titles

Ettalong's Aron Sherriff has claimed his fourth Open Zone Singles title in defeating Umina's Shane Starkey, who was the Bowls Central Coast "Rookie of the Year" in 2016.

The pair competed in one of three Zone Singles titles contested at The Entrance Bowling Club on Saturday, September 2.

It was seen as an outstanding achievement by Shane to win his way through to the Open Final and go head to head with a Commonwealth Games medallist.

The Senior Singles final was contested by two experienced Ettalong Memorial club mates, John Roberts and Phil Westcott.

In a closely-contested game, John Roberts came home strongly over the final ends to win his second Zone Senior's title.

It rounded off a top week for Roberts who was once again named in the Bowls NSW State Senior side for the ninth consecutive year.
