Sherriff named Central Coast champion

Ettalong Bowling Club's Aron Sherriff wound up 2017 Central Coast Bowls Champion with a series of outstanding wins in the Champion of Club Champions Singles.

Aron Sherriff won five consecutive games to take out the prestigious title, recording an aggregate total of 155 shots and only conceding 63 shots throughout the event.

He played Toukley RSL's Gary Pollock in the final at Wyong Bowling Club on Saturday, September 23.

Gary Pollock displayed good form in the sectional rounds and was never too far away from the jack in the final, but Aron Sherriff's touch and class showed why he is likely to be one of the first selected in the Australian team for next year's Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, according to Bowls Central Coast president Mr Kevin Dring.

The Champion of Club Championship is an International event and Sherriff will now contest the State title at Kiama Bowling Club on November 23-24, with the winner progressing to the National and then the World title.

"It's a progression well within the reach of a bowler of Sherriff's talent," said Mr Dring.
