There’s no question that Shaun Blackbourn, Waikato, has been in dynamite form these past few years, and yesterday he added another feather to his cap.
By ticking off the Henselite sponsored NZ Champion of Champion Singles, Shaun joins an elite group of bowlers who have won both the Champion of Champion event as well as the Open.
Losing only to Ashley Diamond, Shaun held the winning edge against his other six opponents and was ultimately dominant in securing first place.
Three players were tied on four wins, but a countback of ends saw Anthony Mason (Bush Ruahine) earn silver and Nathan Trowell (Auckland) earn bronze.
Congratulations to all placegetters!
