Morss and Gillingham win Consistency Singles
Mt Lawley Consistency Singles Wrap Brad Gillingham and Helen Morss are this year’s winners of the Mt Lawley Consistency Singles.
The tournament marks the unofficial start of the Western Australian bowls season with the winner traditionally going on to have a successful year.
Morss in no stranger to any of WA’s major events including the Consistency.
On Sunday she claimed her third Consistency Singles title, continuing her strong form in major events over the past few season.
On the other end of the spectrum Gillingham enjoyed a breakout performance at Mt Lawley, winning his first prestigious event in his most impressive performance to date.
He had to take a tough road to get to the final defeating state squad member Dale Marsland, former state rep Charlie Slavich on an extra end and Marcus Sear in a tough semi-final.
His final game against Joe Krstic was another keen test which Gillingham proved to be equal to.
In a tough battle Gillingham managed to hang on to an early lead to be the first to 150, defeating Krstic 152-138.
Morss also found herself with a tough run in having to defeat the very dangerous Isobelle Davies and former WA teammate Rhonda Prosser before defeating Donita Davids 104-86.
She faced Shari Solly who was in great form following a big win over WA lead Toni Madigan.
It was Morss though who found something in a close match again, winning 125-105.
With the season now starting into gear it will be interesting to see what an early victory will do for the confidence and performances of Gillingham and Morss this year.
