Twells takes out singles championship

The Umina Minor Singles bowls championship between Sid Stokie and Roger Twells proved to be an exciting event.

Both bowlers played in zone finals this year with Stokie runner-up in the rookies' final and Twells taking out the veterans final.

The early stages of the singles challenge favoured Twells with Stokie appearing a little nervous in his first club championship final, in front of a large group of spectators.

He fought back to level the scores at 17 all after 20 ends.

The players then battled out the next seven ends evenly matched, before Twell's experience and patience wore his opponent down, finishing after 31 ends 31-22.
