The Burnett District Men’s Champion of Champions fours and pairs were decided at Nanango Bowls Club over the past two weekends.
It was a great competition, club officials said, but it was disappointing that only five out of the 14 clubs in the district entered sides this year.
In the Pairs contest, Kingaroy defeated Murgon and Gayndah defeated Wondai, then Kingaroy defeated Nanango.
This meant the final was played between Kingaroy and Gayndah.
Kingaroy’s Col Kratzman and Richard Patterson 21 defeated Gayndah’s Ashley Harris and Peter Bennett 21-19 in a tight contest that was finally decided on the 21st end.
In the Fours, Nanango defeated Wondai, Gayndah defeated Murgon, and then Nanango defeated Kingaroy.
In the final, Gayndah’s Kevin Putney, Neville McCosker, Ashley Harris and Peter Bennett 18 prevailed over Nanango’s Brian Havell, Allan Wright, Athol Jensen and Glen Yeates 18-16.
This also turned out to be a close game – Gayndah just managed to score the winning shot with the last bowl of the day.
