Cookie wins the 2019 BCC Singles Double

Congratulations to Halekulani's bowls coordinator James "Cookie" Cook on winning the Champion of Club Champions Singles Final today 24th August 2019 at Ettalong Memorial. Cookie has now won the rare double of the Open Singles and the C of CC Singles.

His opponent Avoca Beach's Graham "Archie" Ross was blitzed early down 17 to 5 after 15 ends. However, Archie then showed the form that had got him to the final trading blow for blow with Cookie to eventually go down 31 to 19. It was a great game of bowls to watch with many close heads in quite windy conditions.

BCC thanks Ettalong Memorial for their most competent hosting of the event . Thanks to all the markers and in particular the maker of the final, Michael Braham. We now look forward to the C of CC Doubles commencing next weekend.

Cookie now goes on to contend the State C of CC Champs and if he wins that the Australian C of CC Champs and if he wins that the World's C of CC Champs.

Runner-Up Avoca Beach's Graham "Archie" Ross with winner Halekulani's James "Cookie" Cook

TOM NAILARD NAILS VETERAN SINGLES TITLE

Rookies Singles and Pairs runner-up in 2014, Avoca’s Tom Nailard had to call upon all his experience to take out the BCC-Z15 Veteran Singles title from Mingara’s Peter Yates who held the upper hand for much of the game.
Yates seemed to have established a match winning break at 17-12 in a shortened 21 up game but to his credit, Nailard knuckled down in tricky and difficult windy conditions to level at 20 all.
Nailard’s confidence was up and he out drew Yates on the final end to snare the title.
It was Tom’s first BCC-Z15 title and one that will become a forever lasting memory.
