Two flags for Ettalong women bowlers

Ettalong Memorial Women's Bowling Club has won Grades 1 and 2 following the Post Sectional Playoffs at Bateau Bay on May 1.

Grade 1 had already won in a round robin, and did not have to contest on the day.

Grade 2 had to play Munmorah United in the playoff.

The team consisted of eight players in two sides of four.

"Tracy Osborne and her side got away to a flying start, leaving Munmorah in their wake," said club publicity officer Ms Maureen Kerr.

"Munmorah gradually made a comeback but could not make up the deficit.

"Valerie Brownlie and her side had to fight all the way to stay in touch.

"Going into the last end, the scores were close, the head changing with each bowl.

"Val's side held two shots for the win, when the skip from Munmorah came in with a great on-shot moving the jack back to her own bowls.

"Ettalong came away with a margin of 11 shots giving them the game and the flag," Ms Kerr said.
