Congratulations to Stephen Zino for winning the Professional Bowls Association qualifier in Hastings for the Welsh International Open Singles. In a gripping final, Stephen overcame Gisborne-East Coast’s Robin Jefferson sharing one set each and snatching victory in a best of three end tiebreak. Stephen was four down in the second end when he dragged the jack to the back of the rink, and then again lying shot down with his last bowl of the third end, drew the shot. It was sweet revenge for Victoria after Robin had earlier accounted for both Hayley May and Richard Corry.

Stephen now gets to play at PBA Finals Weekend in Dunedin September 3-5th and will play Jamie Hill (Auckland) and Peter Wilson (Dunedin) for a place in Wales next February. It was a welcome breakthrough for Stephen who had previously lost PBA tournament finals in 2004 and 2006.

In a stellar season Raymond Martin has picked up his first senior centre title skipping a side to win the Hutt Valley Open Triples. Ray played under the Vogelmorn club with Jeff Stuart at 2nd but the lead didnt show up on the morning so it was a makeshift arrangment with the tea lady playing the first 3 games, and Jeff’s mum arriving from Wanganui to take over for the afternoon!

Ray beat 5-times national champion and NZ captain Grant Raynor from North Wellington in the final.
