Midland Morrison claim comp crown at Narrogin Bowling Club March Carnival

After a thrilling comeback Midland Morrison secured victory in challenging conditions in the March Carnival hosted by Narrogin Bowling Club at the weekend. A total of 22 teams hit the greens in fours playing two games of 14 ends and pairs playing two games of 10 ends as the sun shone hot in the afternoon and the rain came down in the morning. The annual event attracted competitors from Perth, Great Southern and the Wheatbelt to vie for top honours. However a brilliant Sunday afternoon from Midland Morrison on the back of a solid Saturday secured the win, as skipper Steve Kilford along with Greg Oversby, Ray Arnold and Ken Rowe headed home all smiles. Midland Morrison finished the competition on 28 plus 55 ahead of Osborne Park-Quinns Rock who came in second on 27 plus 92. A thrilled Oversby was pleased with the win. “This weekend really means a lot, the older you get the more emotions you get,“ he said. “It was wet and windy, the first day we played good on the turf. “Sunday we played on the grass and we were losing. After the weather we were down big time. We got seven shots there that brought us up — we got tired but we kept on pushing, one shot at a time.” The final game of the competition was a close one. “Our last game we were five shots down, five-10,” Oversby said. “Then it was 10-all, we only had three ends to go. “I told the guys ‘we’ve got to pick it up’ and we bowled well.” Busselton were the day one winners on 10 plus five and Yanchep were day two winners on 14 plus 13.
