Pairs

Chayne Edwards and Rodney Rewko from Terrigal defeated Peter Andrews and Graham Ross from Avoca Beach in a close battle in the beginning but took the lead after the 14th end when the Terrigal pair picked up a 4 and took the lead 16-10. Edwards and Rewko then only lost a further 3 ends and finally won 21-13 after Andrews and Ross conceded after the 20th end, which made Chayne Edwards and Rodney Rewko the 2020 Zone 15 Champion of Champions Pairs winners. We wish them all the best of luck in the NSW State Champion of Champion Pairs, being played at Ettalong Memorial BC in early 2021.

Singles

EDWARDS MAKES HISTORY

Chayne Edwards from Terrigal won the Zone 15 Champion of Champion Singles for 2020 defeating Gary Merton from Bateau Bay 31-22 after being down 8-4 in the beginning of the match. Edwards is the first ever person from Zone 15 to win both the Champion of Champions Pairs and Singles in the same year! Big achievement from Chayne and we congratulate him on this and wish him all the best in the State Champion of Champion Singles being played at Ettalong Memorial BC early in 2021.

At Halekulani Bowling Club’s AGM last Sunday (8/11/2020), which was attended by199 members, 187 members voted in favour of an Amalgamation with The Mounties Group. Only 4 members voted against and 8 members abstained. It is unheard of to get such a high number of attendees at a bowling club AGM, which only goes to show how important this vote was for the long term future of the Club.

The Mounties Group held their AGM earlier this morning (15/11/2020) and their members also voted in favour of the Amalgamation with Halekulani Bowling Club. This is great news for the Hali members, bowlers and the local community.

I heard that one of the items in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is that Hali green 1, will be turned into synthetic green and have a roof put over it, within 2 years.…how sensational will that be?

Congratulations to all those behind the scenes at Halekulani Bowling Club and The Mounties that made this historic event happen.

I understand that The Mounties members were also due to vote on Amalgamating with Wyong RSL Club today, but I don’t have any news on that as yet…

The Central Coast Past President's Association at it's AGM yesterday (1/11/2020) elected Ian Jarratt as President and wife Gwen as Vice President.  Ian and Gwen are both Past Presidents of Umina Beach Men's and Ladies Bowling Clubs.   In 2018 Ian was Bowls Central Coast volunteer of the Year 

Immediate Past President and the Association;s first Lady President, Larraine Cooper was elected as Secretary, a role which Larraine was in reality doing last year.  Les Sharp was re-elected as Treasurer.

President: Ian Jarratt
Vice President:  Gwen Jarratt
Secretary:  Larraine Cooper
Treasurer:  Les Sharp
Committee Members:  Terri Causby, Pat Reynolds, Pam Price

We trust that with Covid 19 restrictions easing that the CCPPA have a much better year in 2021.

        Dick Thornton (The Entrance) - Deputy President

        David Cameron (Gosford City) - State Councillor

The new Board will meet on Monday 26th October 2020 to appoint the Match and Selection Committees as well as a number of other individual appointments.   The lists of 2021-2022 Office Bearers will be published after that meeting.

The exception to this is that Albert Heath declined to re stand for election.  Albet has been a part of the Executive Committee of Bowls Central Coast since its inception in 1995 as the Central Coast District Bowling Association - Zone 15 Inc.   Albert has now been appointed as a Patron of Bowls Central Coast a role he now shares jointly with his good friend John Peek.

It was second time lucky for Archie Ross having made the final of the 2019 Champion of Club Champion singles to lose the final to Halekulani's James Cook.  Peter Andrews adds this tile to his 2016 Senior Singles and Pairs titles.  

Scott and Greg had a remarkable tournament defeating Ettalong's Bailey Meti and John Roberts in the 2nd round, then defeating defending champions Nathan Malloy and Lee Trethowan in the next.

In the final they played Greg Pigram and Kevin Kilday of Ettalong Memorial who had somewhat of a giant killing run to the finals.  In the first round they accounted for the 2018 Champions Neil Williams and Dick Thornton (The Entrance).  In the quarterfinals they defeated compatriots Col Pasfield and Phil Westcott who were Runners Up in this event in 2019.  Then in the Semi-final they had a victory over Neil Dell and Peter Lyddieth of Mindara the 2019 BCC Senior Pairs Champions. 

Now representing Terrigal, Cory Pope and Steve Balsdon have added to their illustrious records by winning the final of the BCC 2020 President's Reserve Pairs today 18/10/2020 at Ettalong Memorial.  Cory won the President's Reserve Singles in 2019 playing for Gosford City.   Steve representing Ettalong Memorial was the President's Reserve singles winner in 2012 going on to make the final of the State Championships.    Steve playing for Ourimbah Lisarow also won the BCC 2018 President's Reserve Pairs.

In the final Cory and Steve played Ettalong Memorial's Adam Lewis and Garry Eggleton in what was a tight game which Adam and Garry lead early.  In the end Cory and Steve were victors 18 to13.   

It was great to see Zone events being held once more.  The spectators of the Presidents Reserve Pairs final were thoroughly enjoying them selves, interacting with players and cheering each good bowl.
