Umina bowls' major singles

The finals of the Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club Major Singles were held on March 25.

In one semi- final, Mr Peter O'Sullivan faced Mr Lee Patterson, a three-year consecutive winner of the title.

In the other semi-final, 2017 runner-up Mr John Aldersley faced Mr Shane Starkey.

O'Sullivan jumped out of the box early playing excellent bowls which caught Patterson off-guard and resulted in a 17-1 lead.

While O'Sullivan continued playing well, Patterson got into his stride and started edging his way back.

In the event, O'Sullivan was able to outlast him to secure a 31-27 victory.

In the second semi-final, both players were well matched, with the scores even until Starkey started to edge away with Aldersley finding difficulties with the windy conditions.

Starkey had a solid win, with a final score of 31-18.

The final saw conditions warming up and produced some excellent bowls from Starkey and O'Sullivan.

Starkey's experience and focus proved too difficult for O'Sullivan playing in his first Major Singles title.

Starkey held the upper hand for the best part of the match, running out the winner with a final score of 31-12.
