Day 1

Cold start to morning with frost delaying start until 9:15, giving the kids time to enjoy the Bacon & Eggs rolls put on by the Temora Club.

1st Game played Rutherford. Trailed at start giving opposition a 7 point lead then coming back to win 15-11 Elderslie started a little flat then got into the game & never looked back.

2nd Game Elderslie played Dapto. Trailed again giving away a 6 point lead & then coming back to win again. Once again started flat & again showed their maturity & came away with the win 15-10.

3rd Game played Dural. Game started with ends going from equal for both sides then Elderslie pulled away to a 6 point lead with most bowls going their way to a convincing win with final score 13-7.

Winning all 3 games made Elderslie sectional winners and qualified them for the semi finals on day 2.

Day 2
Warmer start with no frost.

Semi final was played against Engadine. Elderslie came out firing and got the win 23-10 to advance to the final.

The Final !!
Game started with Warilla. Teams playing for each end at start. Warilla Skip came into his own to foil Elderslie Lead & Second Bowls, also to block our skips attempt to win the end.

Warilla going on to win by a small margin 18-14.

All Elderslie players performed extremely well & should hold their heads high for Second in the State finishing position & also coming up against last years winners.

Elderslie High School (Brianna Smith, Sam Dukes & Josh Lord) won their section and have qualified for the CHS State Triples Championships to be held at Temora later in the year. Elderslie were dominate in all matches winning 49-1, 21-6, and 27-2. A great effort by former and current members of Camden Bowling Club.

I also wish to advise that Brianna, Sam and Josh have been selected in the Regional 8-A-Side to compete at Armidale, later in the year.

Well done to each of you.

Zone 5 Junior Championships

At Wentworth Falls Bowling Club on the 16th April 2015 Sam Dukes representing Southern Tablelands WON the Zone 5 Fours Championships. Playing Second created the platform for a very convincing win in the final and was the outstanding player of the day and the team now plays in the State Championships at Warilla in July.

As a result of his fine play Sam was also selected in the Zone 5 7-a-side team to play at Figtree in August. We wish him well in both events.

Team: Tracey Lee Swift (Goulburn), Brodie Halls (Goulburn), Sam Dukes (Camden), Bradley Smith (Crookwell).
