INGLEWOOD lawn bowls pair Lindsay Kelly and Geoff Wilson come close to a fairytale finish at the State 60 and Over Carnival last week.
Sectional play was held at Leitchville, on tricky greens, and
after losing the first game they came home strongly.
The pair won their section by the barest of margins as at the end two teams were level on six points and plus 17 shots each.
The final result went down to percentage and Inglewood got home by three per cent.
The next day’s knockout Rounds were Cohuna on greens that were very good where Inglewood’s duo had two wins and progressed to the quarter finals at Barham.
Scores were level at the end of 15 ends which meant one extra end had to be played. The Inglewood pair got home after some quality play by Wilson.
The Fairytale ended in the semi-finals as the opposition were too good.
In the singles competition, Inglewood was represented by Kelly and Arthur Harrison.
Allocated Murray Downs and Gunbower for their Sectional play success was not to be had and both bombed out in the sectionals.
Kelly, who is the club’s secretary, said Inglewood had “a hard time fielding all teams last season and we are in urgent need of more members, especially so our Division 6 team, that won the premiership last season, can be promoted”.
Inglewood also wants to maintain two Monday pennant teams in the Bendigo playing area.
