Bowlers from the Fraser Coast, Sunshine Coast and Burnett districts met at Kingaroy Bowls club recently to decide the Champion of Champions at the Zone level with the winners progressing to the State level.
Wondai Bowls Club were the Burnett representatives against Maryborough Services and Coolum Bowls Club, representing the Fraser Coast and Sunshine Coast respectively.
The round robin format was used with the team recording the most wins being the champions.
With two strong performances Fraser Coast defeated both of their opponents to take an unassailable two-nil lead, negating the need for the third game to be played
Results:
- Fraser Coast def. Sunshine Coast 23-15
- Fraser Coast def. Burnett 24-12
