A Kyneton Bowling Club team has won a dramatic Ballarat Highlands Bowls Region triples championship final.
Earlier this month the trio of Glen Gascoyne, Graham Edwards and Greg Podesta (skipper) — all newcomers to Kyneton this season — won the final with a single shot on the first extra end after scores were tied 16-16 after the mandatory 18 ends.
North Ballarat’s Will Hodgetts, Dan Marek and Alex Parker (s) led by two shots going into the 18th end to seemingly hold the title in their grasp before Podesta produced two brilliant bowls to secure two shots and tie the match.
The final was played at Sebastopol Bowling Club, and both sides were applauded on their performance.
The Kyneton trio now represent the region in the state finals to be played in Bendigo in early April.
