Minor Singles 2012
Mamma 31 defeated Anthia 30 in a thrilling game, for the Minor Singles Trophy on 26th Feburary.
L to R: Anthia Hart, Metua Teinaki
Watch for these names Metua Teinaki and Anthia Hart.
Ashfield Bowling Club was the venue of the strongest contested Minor Singles game for some time when Metua Teinaki played Anthia Hart in the final.
For near on 4 hours, spectators were glued to their seats. You would swear they were watching a game of Rugby. The concentration and determination of both players and obvious delight of playing on the BEST greens in the inner west, was clearly shown.
Both players are known as being very focussed and dedicated to the game. Both players were rewarded for this, with selection to play in the Ashfield Green Pennants Grade 3 team. Anthia is often seen concentrating all her efforts on the grind of practising the draw shot.
Metua was slight favourite at the beginning of the game because of her extra experience, ability to skip and her excellent draw shot. The game was neck and neck through out with Metua drawing away 30 to 21.
Anthia doggedly clawed her way back into the game 30 all. Chasing three outstanding bowls from Metua, with her last bowl Anthia narrowly missed the shot going down to Metua 31-30. The crowd gave the two players a standing ovation shaking their heads at the quality of the game.
Metua said that she could not remember a game where she had felt so much pressure on the last end.
Anthia summed up her experience ‘I didn’t win the match but I feel like a champion’.
The major champions have been put on notice!
