Sherriff wins triples to create record

Ettalong Bowling Club's Aron Sherriff has won the Bowls Central Coast Triples Championship along with teammates Harley McDonald and John Roberts.

Sherriff has become the first ever bowler to win all four Central Coast major championship titles of Singles, Pairs, Triples and Fours in the one year.

Central Coast District Bowling Association senior vice president Mr Kevin Dring said: "It's fitting that Sherriff should etch his name into the Central Coast record books in such a way, after outstanding personal achievements over the past 18 months in winning the Australian Singles title, representing Australia at Commonwealth Games in Delhi and then winning the World Champion of Champion Singles crown."

Forty-four teams contested the Zone Triples Championship in Bateau Bay over six games of play spread over two weekends.

In the final between the "young gun" skips of Sherriff and Morrison, Morrison's team of Allan Joss and James Roberts started strongly and led 9-2 after six ends, but the champion players fought back and Sherriff's team won the next six ends to lead 11-9 after 13 ends.

The Sherriff combination proved too strong over the closing ends to record a convincing 24-13 victory.
