Everglades take pennant after drawn final
Everglades Bowling Club's Grade 2 women's pennant team has won the Central Coast District Pennant, after drawing its final game 37-all against Ettalong on Tuesday, October 3.
Everglades was awarded the flag, having finished the season at the top of the ladder.
It was a "nail-biter of a game", said Everglades committee member Ms Vicki Redrup.
"Both teams played fantastic bowls and had amazing shots.
"It was extremely close throughout the match with only one or two points separating the teams.
"It came down to the last end of the game to determine a winner.
"On the last end Everglades had a five-shot lead and then, remarkably, Ettalong managed to win the last end with five shots.
"The game ended in a draw, 37-37.
"It was an unbelievable game played in great spirit and sportsmanship."
The team will now play in the regional finals at Charlestown on Monday, November 27.
