Krstic trio on fire in Triples
Women’s State Triples results The 2018 Henselite Women’s State Triples champions are Manning’s Kristina Krstic, Laura Merz and Robyn O’Brien.
They defeated Renate Coote, Maureen Cooney and Shelley Radcliffe 22-4 with an impressive display in the final at Osborne Park on Sunday.
The largest number the Manning side picked up was a three which happened just once, instead they built their score by winning end after end and not allowing Coote into the game.
Krstic scored the first five shots of the game before Coote was able to get on the board in the fourth end. Krstic immediately re-established her lead by picking up a three to lead 8-2 after five ends.
A single to Coote on the next end offered some hope that her side could get the match back to level but the Manning side had none of it. They won the next four ends before they conceded another single and at 13-4 it was a long road back for Coote.
Nine shots across the next five ends was enough to put the game to bed with plenty of time to spare as Krstic, Merz and O’Brien ran out winners 22-4.
It was the second state title for the season for all three players as Merz and O’Brien were part of the victorious fours side while Krstic won the singles.
It puts the trio towards the top of Connie Hicks contention, particularly Merz and Krstic who also finished runners-up in the pairs.
