New champions for SRCWA Mixed Over 60’s Pairs
Finals wrap The 2018 Seniors Recreation Council State Over 60’s Mixed Pairs has been won by Sam Perica (Cambridge) and Lea Mias (Melville).
They won Thursday’s final 16-11 over husband and wife Ross (Sorrento) and Trish Cunningham (Mosman Park) at Sorrento Bowling Club.
The first half of the game could not have been any tighter with the scores locked at 6-6 after 9 of the 16 ends.
It was on the tenth end when Perica and Mias scored the only big number of the match, a four which gave them the biggest lead of the game. They maintained their lead as the two sides traded singles for the next four ends and led 12-8 with four ends to go.
A two on the fifteenth end put them in a great position with a six-shot lead, however the Cunningham’s halved the deficit in the next two ends to get themselves a chance at 14-11 with an end to play. But Perica and Mias held strong, picking up two shots to win the match and competition at 16-11.
It’s Mias first state title at any level with her previous best being runner up at the 2017 Champion of Champions.
Perica claims his second Over 60s win following his singles victory in 2016.
