Aron wins bowls titles

Ettalong Club bowler Aron Sheriff has won the men's singles and men's pairs at the Trans-Tasman test series in Invercargill, New Zealand.

Despite this, the Australian team failed to win the overall title to New Zealand.

The Australian team lost 13-11 after the overall series was tied at 3-3 on Friday, March 4.

"There are lots of positives to take out of this series," Australian coach Steve Glasson said.

"We've experimented with new combinations, so it's a great stepping stone to the future.

"We've basically been beaten by one game, and there were a lot of narrow losses."

Sheriff won the Men's Singles over New Zealand's Shannon McIlroy 21 to 12.

In the Men's Pairs, Brett Wilkie and Aron Sheriff beat New Zealand's Matt Gallop and Ali Forsyth in a close 24 to 23.
