Summerset NZIB National Championships
Congraulations, and commiserations to David and Colleen Fenton, who were runners up in the Fours at the National Championships on Saturday 19 June.
Combining with Otagos John and Jacqui Wiiliams, the Fenton/Wiiliams team had a fantastic run, sweeping aside the competition to make it all the way to final.
They made a great start in the final, jumping out to an early lead. Some steady bowls played by the opposption clawed this deficeit back to be 7 all on the last end, where John Williams had the last shot of the match to potentially win the title. Unfortunaltly he was wide with his bowl and our team went down 8-7 in a fantastic game of bowls.
A huge congratulations to the team on their performance. While it's gutting to lose a final, it's still a monumental acheivement to reach one and to be in with the chance of winning a National title right up unitl the very end.

The South Otago Women's 8's team helf their nerve in the final rounds to win a close fought battle in Alexandra over the weekend of 15 & 16 May.
Southland looked to be the team to beat after the first two rounds, looking strong and heading off South Otago marginally. However, Southland faultered and South Otago remained consistent, to be leading going into Sundays last round.
