Since being introduced in 1902 the State Singles has become the prestige event on the bowls calendar. Players are left with nowhere to hide in a test of skill one on one with their opponent. The greatest modern day winner of this event is Geoff “Doc” Oakley with five victories between 1975 and 1993. Prior to that EJ Ford won six State Singles titles in the period from 1918 to 1950.
