Mitchell wins State Titles
The State Reserve Singles where played at Avoca Beach Bowling Club on the 2nd and 3rd of September. Players from 16 Zones in NSW played off for the honours of being State Reserve Champion.
Brad Mitchell aged 35 who plays for Pacific Palms Bowling Club represented the Manning District and took out the prestigious award from many a worthy opponent. Playing for only four years Mitchell has won many awards, on his way to the final he had to beat players from Walgett, Cabarita and in the semi finals he beat player from Dubbo Railway Bowling Club. Mitchell then had to play Andy Yeomans from Bar Beach Bowling Club, Mitchell started well and led 7 shots to 1 early but Yeomans hit back to draw at 14 shots all. The two went head to head over the next few ends with 21 shots to each. Yeomans then hit back with a good end skipping away with a 27-24 shot lead. Mitchell never gave up and went on to win the game 31 to 28, both bowlers played like the Champions they are.
