Knott and Packer combine for Masters win
Doubleview Nexus Masters Pairs results The Doubleview Bowling Club again put on a great Master Pairs event which was sponsored again by Nexus Insurance with sectional play on Sunday February 12th and 19th and knockout play on Monday 20th and finals Tuesday 21st February.
This event has been going now for some 44 years and would be one of the longest running sponsored Masters event in Western Australia. With good weather and the grass greens in superb condition the players in sectional play and finals enjoyed a wonderful four days of bowls which were at the highest level by some very strong teams from Metro and Country clubs.
The Quarter finals were played and won by Shane Knott and Cody Packer who defeated a father/son combination of Dan and Charlie Slavich 28-2, Pieter Harris and Ken Pride defeated a very strong side in Justin Opie and Daniel Brown in a very close game 18-16, John Sharp and Andrew Ness defeated Matt Mitchell and Shaun Mawdsley 21-7 and then another father/son combination in Peter and Brad Cole defeated Alan Barron and Shan Loftus 15-12. In the two semi finals Knott and Packer defeated Harris and Pride 19-9 and Sharp and Ness defeated the Coles combination 23-18 after securing a 7 on the 3rd last end. In the final Knott and Packer finish a little stronger defeating Sharp and Ness 17-13 in a quality final befitting a major event.
The games were all played in high spirits and good sportsmanship with the Doubleview Bowling Club looking after the players with good lunches, cold drinks, and very good prize money. Well done to all concerned and we look forward to seeing you all back in 2018.
