National Mixed Fours Finals Summary
Canterbury’s Ashley Diamond, David Philpott, Julie Dalley and Bev Diamond won the Mixed Fours Title at the 47th national final of the New Zealand Indoor Bowls Mixed Fours at the Hogg Crescent Indoor Bowls Complex, Hogg Street, Masterton.
In an exciting round robin tournament which was not decided until the last game of the last round they went through the seven rounds unbeaten with wins against Bay of Plenty 10-4, Southland 10-2, Upper Hutt Valley 9-5, Hawkes Bay 12-2, Counties 8-7, Taranaki 7-5 and Nelson 9-7.
In the final match they played Nelson’s Nigel Warnes, Hayden Warnes, Denise Powick and Louise Mason. Nelson was lying in second place and the match was a virtual final of the championship. In a close game the scores were 4-4 after 4 ends. Canterbury led 5-4 after five ends, Nelson 6-5 after 6 ends, Canterbury 7-6 after seven ends and Nelson scored one shot to go into the final end 7-7. On this end Canterbury scored the vital shots to win the match and the tournament 9-7.
All of the Canterbury players played well but Ashley Diamond was in outstanding form and won games with his last bowl on several occasions from seemingly impossible situations.
Nelson were runner sup while last year’s winners Grant l’Ami and Michelle Watt from Taranaki who this year combined with Dennis and Pauline Behrent were third.
