| | Neil Fisher
Runner Up in the Trusts Men's Singles | | | | | | Neil Fisher met Richard Girvan in the final of The Trusts Men`s Singles at Henderson as the showcase event of The Trusts New Zealand Open. While Girvan won the first end, Fisher playing some superb draw bowls was very quickly to a 9-2 advantage. On the 10th end Fisher was holding two shot when Girvan drove the jack into the ditch to claim the end. Girvan settled by the 13th end and picked up a three after Fisher had tried to drive Girvan`s shot bowls off the rink. The 13th end saw Girvan pick up another three to draw closer at 12-7. Girvan appeared to find his straps at this stage and within five ends, all of which he won, had the lead over Fisher at 15-13. On the 21st end, Girvan drew a shot at jack high. Fishers reply was a couple of feet through the head, and the score with the final bowl of the end showed Girvan still picking up one shot. Fisher did not give up however and drew a toucher with his first bowl of the next and another close bowl with his second. Girvan tries to wrest the shots but undercut the head and was heavy with his last bowl. Fisher gaind one shot on the end to bring the score back to 16-15. Fisher drew two shots on the next end to once again hold the lead 17-16. In the next end Fisher held the shot until Girvan`s last bowl when he rolled Fisher`s bowl out to gain three shots. Again Fisher bouncd back to draw the game on the game at 20-20. The first bowl from Girvan in the next end was a front toucher which Fisher was unable to dislodge and Richard Girvan became the winner of The Trusts Men`s Singles for 2009.

Stanton, Williams & Anderson
The final between Joanne Stanton, Diane Williams and Sheryl Anderson of Pakuranga and Olivia Bloomfield and her Pt Chevalier team mates Maria Smith and Jo McKenna, saw Olivia draw first blood and was 2-0 up after two ends. The Pakuranga team then scored the next two ends to be 4-2 up after the first four ends had gone. A small lapse in concentration then saw Pakuranga drop a five to be 7-4 down, but a very good bowling display from all the Pakuranga girls saw them score the next eight ends in succession to hold a commanding 18-7 score after 13 ends. The next four ends were all scored by the Pt Chevalier team as they suddenly found line and length to bring the 18-13 on the penultimate end. However the Pakuranga girl’s managed to draw two beautiful bowls in the final end to take the game 20-13. | |
