by admin

The Champion of Club Champions pairs has officially concluded on Friday, May 2nd, with Corey Wedlock and Aaron Teys of Warilla emerging victorious with a convincing win against Barry Mungoven and Michael Abel from East Maitland in the men’s final, while Cabramatta’s Selina Goddard and Jessie Cottell were crowned champions of the women’s pairs, having a decisive victory against Condobolin’s mother-daughter duo Cathy and Danielle Thompson.

The Warrilla duo showcased unwavering dominance across the whole competition, displaying why they are both Australian Jackeroos, with Corey Wedlock being a former world champion, and Aaron Teys coming fresh from winning the Everest of Bowls.

Both men’s sides showed a great display of skill to reach the finals, with Barry Mungoven and Michael Abel experiencing a nail-biting finals series that came down to the last end against Cabramatta’s well-credentialed duo, Ben Morthorpe and Carl Healey, winning 16–15 in the quarter-final, followed by another tough match in the semi-final against West Dubbo’s Darren Connolly and Tim Farrell.

In the women’s final, Cabramatta proved too strong on the day, with three-time Commonwealth Games medallist for New Zealand, Selina Goddard, and Emerging Jackaroo Jessie Cottell claiming the win. On their way to the title match, the Cabra duo overcame rising stars Charli and Ella Cameron from Gunnedah in the semi-final, and Figtree RSL in the quarter-final.

The Thompson’s also battled hard throughout the finals series, edging past Gerringong in a challenging semi-final and overcoming Soldiers Point in the quarter-final.

It was a great finish to the Champion of Champions Pairs, with strong efforts from all teams throughout the week—well done to all the players who competed. A special thanks to our host clubs for providing excellent facilities: Club Merrylands (main host club), Cabramatta, Cabra-Vale Diggers, Club Mt Lewis, and St Johns Park.
