Barry and Helen Black were overjoyed with their first national title in the Masters Pairs this evening, and they can’t quite believe they have pulled it off.
The husband and wife combination had their nose in front throughout the final, but opponents Marilyn Baskiville and Jill McQuoid fought right ‘til the end to level the scores at 6-6.
Marilyn was tracking well with her last bowl to draw the shot on the extra end, but it was Barry and Helen’s blue bowls that held on for the win.
Congratulations to Barry and Helen for an incredible achievement!
