As sections are determined for the state finals for each grade, they will be posted along with the venues...
Congratulations to Phil Toy and Cory Daley both of Park Beach colours, who have taken out the MNC Senior and Open Singles District titles respectively on Saturday.
Toy dominated the seniors from round one at Woolgoolga but found himself behind the eight ball in the final against club mate Barry Garner, trailing by six shots mid way through the match. Toy's experience and determination kicked in to see him finish strongly to claim his second district senior singles title. Despite the loss Barry garner should also be congratulated on reaching his first final, having taken the scalps of many highly rated players on his way to the decider. Toy defeated Wayne Rowbottom 31-21 in the first semi final whilst Garner demolished Vic Watkins 31-7 in their clash.
The final score in the decider was 31-23.
Daley also found the early going tough in the open singles final played at Sawtell, allowing his opponent Graham Green to reach nine shots before opening his account. For the first ninety minutes Green appeared the man most likely, playing the crucial shots at the right time, however Daley found another gear to pull himself back into the contest, and drawing on experience from his previous successes proceeded to throw maximum length ends. The result was a swift change in the dynamic of the match, Daley finishing in a canter to record a 31-21 victory. Daley now joins an elite class of bowlers who have won this event three times, with only Alan Carver and Kent Price having also managed to hold the trophy on three occasions. Daley having lost his first final to Carver in 2005. For Green this was his first singles final on the MNC but his third overall having reached the final on two separate occasions in the southern zones of the state. It will only be a matter of time as to when he finishes on the right side of a finals score board.
Toy and Daley join Hans Katala as the singles representative for the MNC at the zone championships in June where they will attempt to emulate the success of junior Josh Forbes who recently took out the junior division zone title as previously posted.
Til next time...

Grade One
Park Beach Def Westport 52-51. The rivalry between the two dominant clubs in the zone will continue to grow after Park Beach won the last three ends of the match to steal the one shot victory on their home soil.
Grade Two
Port City Def Sawtell 55-51. The match was neck and neck all the way however it was Port City who stayed strong, the match only decided on Sawtell's last bowl.
Grade Three
Nambucca Heads Def Kew 54-40. In what was truly the upset of the day, Nambucca outclassed their highly fancied rivals to confortably earn a berth at the state finals. The team also had to contend with the absence of young gun Danny Gilmore who was unavailable due to family commitments, making the win even more special.
Grade Four
Westport Def Sawtell 65-44. Westport salvaged one flag from the days play, inflicting another painfull loss on Sawtell.

Coffs Ex Services
Nambucca Heads
Of all the grades, Kew in grade three will be the biggest odds on favourites. With John O'Neill, Alan Wares, Barry Isaac and Peter Griffths in the team, the side could be easily mistaken for the first grade winning club. Nambucca will need to be on their game if they are to upset their LNC rivals...
However a champion team will always beat a team of champions.
Good luck to all involved...

District Singles - Sunday Results
Reserve Singles
Congratulations go to Hans Katala from C-Ex Woolgoolga club who has proven himself to be a cut above in this years Presidents singles event. Hans did it the hard way, defeating two locals in the semi and final to take out the crown. Lee Allen pushed Hans all the way in the semi final, Hans eventually running out the victor 31-25. His opponent in the decider was Mark Jenkins who had earlier accounted for Jeff Thorn from Nambucca Heads. Hans proved to be a touch too consistent in the decider taking the match 31-20, and will now compete for the zone title in June at Park Beach.
Open Singles
It was a day of contrast at Sawtell during the penultimate rounds of the open singles event. All four quarter finals proved to be intense, with two of the four matches going right down to the wire, however in the afternoon both semi finals turned out to be remarkably one sided.
Graham Green from the host club was the first to book himself a place in the semi finals, grinding out a deserved win against West Coffs stalwart Tony Wills. Reigning champ Cory Daley soon joined Green, finishing strongly to get the chocolates against Bellingen's Chris Habgood. David Miles looked to have done enough to be the second Sawtell bowler through, holding match at 30-30 against West Coffs Rod Hiscock, before Hiscock played a decisive "on" shot to wrest the shot bowl and claim a semi berth. In the last of the quarters Paul Ward lead all the way against young gun Andy King, and seemed to have the match in his keeping when he lead 26-20. However the Stuarts Point talent found another gear, driving and drawing his way out of trouble to run down the Macksville star 31-27 to reach his first open singles semi final.
If the quarters were anything to go by the crowd would have been expecting two classic clashes in the semi's with Green drawn to play Hiscock, and King versus Daley.
However the intensity of the earlier matches appeared to have taken their toll on King and Hiscock, with both falling well behind early. King was still producing his trademark draw shots, however was being continually beaten to the jack by the more experienced Daley, the 2010 champion cruising to a 31-6 victory.
Hiscock rallied however never looked like closing the gap, Green taking the match 31-13.
The final should be a cracker with Green searching for his first district title in the MNCDBA and will have no shortage of supporters playing at his home club whilst Daley will be looking to take out his third singles crown in four years. The final will be played this Saturday at Sawtell @ 1pm.
Senior Singles
Due to catch up match required to be played, the seniors event is only out to the semi finals with four of Park Beach's best sixty and over's making the finals held at Woolgoolga, however it isn't a case of the usual suspects in this years event.
The quarter's proved to be all Park Beach after Wayne Rowbottom joined his clubmates, defeating T Kelly in the catch up match.
2008 champion Phil Toy would have been one of two favourites in the quarters, and managed to advance to the semi finals, but not before being pushed to breaking point by Phil Brown, Toy getting of gaol 31-30.
Wayne Rowbottom will battle Toy for a spot in the semi after winning an arm wrestle with Dennis Brown, both competitors getting on to the springboard before Rowbottom closed it out 31-27.
Vic Watkins made it two impressive wins from two when he downed Neil Williams by just three shots in their match. Currently playing third grade pennants for his club, Vic upstaged second grader Williams after knocking out first grade player Bob Bain in the round of sixteen. Watkins will now play Barry Garner for a place in the decider, another bowler who appeared on paper to be punching above his weight in the quarter final. Garner outclassed the highly rated Laurie Morris by seven shots to reach the final four.
All four bowlers are playing well enough to claim the trophy, however it will be Toy who should feel the weight of expectation, having been there and done it before. Rowbottom has been so close before and will fancy his chances, however Garner and Watkins will feel like they have nothing to lose and are clearly playing well enough to emerge victorious.
The semi finals are scheduled for 1pm this Saturday at Woolgoolga.
Zone Pennant preview to follow later this week.

District Singles Update...
After two tough rounds the open singles is down to the last eight, the seniors has nine combatants left and the reserve singles is down to the semi finals.
Another result to come through is that Josh Forbes is the new Junior Zone Singles champion after defeating Jai Whelan in a top class match 31-30 today. Pairs and Fours results to follow...
At Sawtell, the open singles has thrown up eight worthy contestants, all capable of taking out the title.
Quarter Finals will be:
Andy King Vs Paul Ward
Cory Daley Vs Chris Habgood
Grahame Green Vs Tony Wills
David Miles Vs Rod Hiscock
King advanced after two strong wins, the last against Martin Wilson. The young gun reached the final of the 2010 C/CC district singles where he was beaten by quarter final opponent Ward. Ward is also the 2009 open district champ.
Reigning champ Daley will have his work cut out against former C/CC district champion Habgood whilst Wills and Green both are well respected within the district and will provide an entertaining match up. The wild card of the field is Sawtell local David Miles who upstaged some quality opponents to reach the quarters. Rod Hiscock will be his adversary and certainly has the ability to perform in big matches, having claimed the 2010 zone pairs title.
Park Beach has dominated the Senior singles at Woolgoolga, with all seven of the known quarter finalists provided by the club. The seven to book their spots are: Laurie Morris, Phil Toy, Barry Garner, Vic Watkins, Dennis Brown, Phil Brown, and Neil Williams. Wayne Rowbottom has a chance to make it a Parky clean sweep when he plays against T Kelly Sunday morning.
Finally Coffs Ex Services bowlers have made the most of the home club advantage in the Reserve singles, with Lee Allen and Mark Jenkins reaching the semi finals. Their respective opponents are Hans Katala from Woolgoolga and J Thorn from Nambucca Heads.

Weekend Results 14th & 15th May
Pennants Decided
Congrats to the final flag winners of 2011, being:
Grade Two: Sawtell
Grade Three: Nambucca Heads
Grade Four: Sawtell.
They join:
Grade One: Park Beach
Grade Five: Bellingen
Grade Six: Coffs Ex Services
Grade Seven: Nambucca Heads
Sawtell determined their own success in Grade Two by defeating Coffs Ex Services 5-1 in their washed out clash. Park Beach Two's gave it their all but couldn't overcome their clubmates, going down 5-1 to finish the season in second in grade two and third overall in the combined grade.
Sawtell then made it a double despite losing their washed out match in Grade four against Scotts Head 4-2. Scotts Head appeared to have done enough to claim the flag before some last bowl heroics changed the overall result from a 5-1 to 4-2, handing Sawtell the flag by just one point!
Nambucca Heads also sealed a second flag for the year also despite a last round loss to Woolgoolga. The Woopi boys gave it all they had and even secured the win however a six to nil victory was always going to be a big ask against the quality Nambucca outfit. In the end Woopi managed a 4.5-1.5 win but had to settle for second place.
All zone champions will now prepare for the zone finals in just a fortnight where a berth in the state finals is up for grabs...
Open and Reserve Singles
Great weather greeted bowlers today for the opening rounds of district singles with bowlers competing at three different venues. Sawtell hosted the open singles, where plenty of top class bowls were played. The pick of the matches was the marathon between Colin Thompson from C-Ex and Ric Southam from Park Beach. After four hours it was Thompson, who drew his way to a place in the second round, defeating Southam 31-30. Unfortunately, two of the highly anticipated first round clashes never occurred, with Chris McDonnell and Mark Delamere both receiving forfeits from Josh Shearim and John Bain respectively. Scotts Head bowler Vic Mankin's experience proved to much for the young talent Cameron Wills claiming their match 31-18.
Other bowlers too watch that have moved into the last 32 include Shaun Wilson, P T Clarke, Michael King, Cory Daley, Ian Weldon and Rod Hiscock. Weldon and Hiscock should be the match of the next round, closely followed by the clash between Shaun Wilson and Mark Delamere. Other interesting match ups include Steve Plumb and Andy King, and Ben Proctor and Paul Ward.
Coffs Ex Services is playing host to the Reserve Singles with sixteen combatants remaining in the draw after today. Locals L Allen, P Quinn and M Jenkins have all advanced and will be tough to beat on their home track, with local knowledge on the synthetic surface a massive advantage. Bowraville also has three entrants advancing to the next round with my tip Matt Hopper leading the way. Park Beach managed four entrants in the last sixteen, Brenton Metham's round one victory perhaps the most impressive of the opening clashes.
Next weekend will see all three events playing four rounds over two days, which will see the reserve singles decided and the senior and open singles events deciding their finalists. Good luck to all involved and again congratulations to those involved in successful pennant sides... you have all done your clubs proud.
Cheers,
Chippy

Sawtell hosted the open singles, where plenty of top class bowls were played. The pick of the matches was the marathon between Colin Thompson from C-Ex and Ric Southam from Park Beach. After four hours it was Thompson, who drew his way to a place in the second round, defeating Southam 31-30. Unfortunately, two of the highly anticipated first round clashes never occurred, with Chris McDonnell and Mark Delamere both receiving forfeits from Josh Shearim and John Bain respectively. Scotts Head bowler Vic Mankin's experience proved to much for the young talent Cameron Wills claiming their match 31-18.
Other bowlers too watch that have moved into the last 32 include Shaun Wilson, P T Clarke, Michael King, Cory Daley, Ian Weldon and Rod Hiscock. Weldon and Hiscock should be the match of the next round, closely followed by the clash between Shaun Wilson and Mark Delamere. Other interesting match ups include Steve Plumb and Andy King, and Ben Proctor and Paul Ward.
Coffs Ex Services is playing host to the Reserve Singles with sixteen combatants remaining in the draw after today. Locals L Allen, P Quinn and M Jenkins have all advanced and will be tough to beat on their home track, with local knowledge on the synthetic surface a massive advantage. Bowraville also has three entrants advancing to the next round with my tip Matt Hopper leading the way. Park Beach managed four entrants in the last sixteen, Brenton Metham's round one victory perhaps the most impressive of the opening clashes.
Next weekend will see all three events playing four rounds over two days, which will see the reserve singles decided and the senior and open singles events deciding their finalists. Good luck to all involved and again congratulations to those involved in successful pennant sides... you have all done your clubs proud.
Cheers,

Weekend Preview for May 14th & 15th...
Pennants
Today is the last chance to claim a district flag or avoid relegation with a handful of matches required to determine this in a number of grades....
In Grade Two there are two crunch matches scheduled. Sawtell are in the box seat when they play last placed Coffs Ex Services at home, knowing that two points is all they require for the flag. Park Beach two's must defeat their clubmates Parky one's 6-0 and hope for an upset at Sawtell if they are to steal away the crown.
In Grade Three, Woolgoolga host Nambucca Heads and need nothing less than a 6-0 victory also in order to leapfrog Nambucca to take out top spot. Grade Four will be similar with Sawtell hosting Scotts Head, Sawtell with just a 3 point buffer coming into this match. Woolgoolga are a further point behind and mathematically can still win it but would need a minor miracle if they are to overtake both sides above them.
District Singles
Round one of Open, Senior and Reserve District Singles matches are to be played Sunday afternoon.
The opens are to be played at Sawtell, and the pick of the first round matches would be John Bain vs Mark Delamere who are both worthy singles combatants. The clash between ex junior Josh Shearim and Chris McDonnell will also draw a crowd and the match between Vic Mankin and last years zone junior champ Cam Wills will also be worth a look. Finding a favourite for the event will be difficult, however you can't go past the usual suspects, Ric Southam, Cory Daley and Paul Ward. All have tasted success in this event before and will be hard to beat. Others to watch are the two sets of brothers, Shaun and Martin Wilson, and Mick and Andy King.
The Reserve Singles being hosted by Coffs Ex Services should see a strong showing by the locals, J Bishop's good results in the pairs should see him firm as a favourite. The dark horse of the field however will be Bowravilles Matt Hopper....
Finally the Seniors will be hotly contested at Woolgoolga. Local knowledge again could play a part, so look out for Ron Goodsir, Don Gambrill and Rex Holloway. Frank Tarman and Paul Bartholomew look to be C-Ex and Sawtell's best chances respectively whilst Park Beach has a number of quality entrants, with Laurie Morris, Phil Toy and Neil Williams leading the charge. The event has a different feel to it this year, owing to the fact that for the first time since its inception, Col Pritchard isn't competing. A prominent winner of both senior events, the draw seems much more open without his presence. Col has opted not to enter this year as he prepares to move north to be closer to family in the coming months. The district will be poorer without you Col, all the best on your travels...
Best wishes to all involved this weekend and may the luck be shared...

Pennants Round Ten
Park Beach and Coffs Ex Services have joined Bellingen and Nambucca Heads as District flag winners after Round Ten last Saturday however three grades still remain undecided, with the washed out matches required this coming Saturday to decide the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Grades.
Park Beach cemented a seventh straight First Grade flag when they defeated West Coffs 5-1 at home. Leading Sawtell by six points going into round ten, the side was guaranteed the flag after Sawtell only managed a 4-2 victory against Urunga. Park Beach Seconds kept their slim hopes alive with a 5-1 success at home to Coffs Ex Services, however will need to upset the first grade Parky team and hope for Sawtell to choke in the washed out round against Coffs if they are to steal away the flag in the last match of the season.
In Grade Six, a round ten loss couldn't stop Coffs Ex Services claiming the flag, the 1.5 points earned enough to maintain a 7.5 point lead over West Coffs with just one match remaining. West Coffs defeated the third placed Park Beach 5-1 however the flag has probably been out of reach for the past two rounds. Another loss for Sawtell will see them relegated back to Grade Seven next season.
In Grade Three, Woolgoolga have kept their slim chances of running down Nambucca Heads alive, the sides 5-1 defeat of Park Beach giving them the slightest chance of a last gasp win in this grade. Woopi will now play Nambuca Heads at home, knowing that only a whitewash will secure them the flag. Nambucca need just half a point from this match to stave off the fast finishing Woopi team.
And finally Grade Four has been blown wide open after seemingly being sewn up by Sawtell. Last placed Coffs Ex Services caused the upset of the round by defeating Sawtell 5-1, allowing both Scotts Head and Woolgoolga a chance to take out the crown. Although Woolgoolga are within four points of the leaders Sawtell, realistically the flag will go to the victors of the clash between Scotts Head and Sawtell this Saturday, with just three points separating the two teams at the top. Sawtell will hope the home ground advantage will be enough to get them over the line in what has been perhaps the most interesting of the grades this season.
A full preview of the washed out matches scheduled as well as the district singles to be posted later this week...
And apologies for the delay with this post, computer glitches have been to blame but have now been sorted.
Til Next time....

Round Ten Preview
Before we get to the Weekend matches, a big congratulations to the Sawtell duo Noel Stahlut and Paul Bartholomew who are the MNCDBA Senior Pairs champions for 2011 after they defeated club mates Marty Beerman and Barry Brown 23-10 in the final mid week.
Noel and Paul will contest the zone final against the LNC champions in June.
As promised the result of the Grade Five final has been received with Bellingen joining Grade Seven winners Nambucca Heads as District flag holders, after they defeated Bowraville last Saturday. Bellingen ran out winners on two rinks to win the big board and will now advance to the zone finals later this year.
Going in to the tenth and potentially final round for many clubs, all five remaining grades could be determined this weekend in the MNC pennant...
In the combined First and Second Grade, Park Beach and Sawtell both have a chance to sew up their respective flags. Park Beach will play at home against West Coffs, knowing that a six nil victory will all but see them over the line as they already lead by six points and have a superior margin to their only remaining threat Sawtell. Sawtell in turn travel to Urunga knowing that a six to nil victory may also be enough provided Park Beach Seconds drop points to Coffs Ex Services. The team in the hot seat will most definitely be Sawtell, with both of their rivals having home matches. If they are to slip up, this week will be where it happens.
In Grade Three, Woolgoolga require no less than a six to nil victory over third placed Park Beach if they are to reel in leaders Nambucca Heads, who have the bye and an 11.5 point lead. If they can do so, they will play Nambucca at home in the washed out game in hand, any other result will see Nambucca handed the flag.
In Grade Four Sawtell travel to the treacherous Coffs Ex Services with the knowledge that a six to nil victory will see them crowned district champions, however with both Scotts Head and Woolgoolga ready to pounce should they slip up this grade may well have to be decided in the final round. Should it come to that, then they will to defeat the currently second placed Scotts Head for the title.
Lastly, in Grade Six, Coffs Ex Services realistically already have the flag sewn up, however they can guarantee themselves the chance to play for a zone flag by scoring a single point or more when they play away at Nambucca.
No district championships are to be held this weekend owing to Mothers day, however the following weekend will be incredibly hectic, with the senior, open and reserve single sevents commencing at three venues across the district. A preview of all three events next week...
To all involved this weekend, good luck!
Cheers,

District Pairs Decided
Woolgoolga bowlers Shane Dodd and sub Greg Snowball (filling in for Dave Valentine) have played tremendously to capture their maiden District Pairs title hosted by Woolgoolga.
The duo dominated Sawtell's David Miles and Greg Proctor in the decider, taking full use of the home green advantage taking the match 23-9.
To reach the decider Snowball and Dodd knocked out the red hot favourites John Bain and Ric Southam by a shot, Dodd playing the winning shot with the last bowl of the match. Miles and Proctor claimed their first berth in an open final with a come from behind victory over Scotts Head Pair Dale Scrivener and Hagop Aladjadjian.
Both teams deserve congratulations and have served notice to all other bowlers within the district, as based on their current form, this will not be the last district final that any of these players reach.
Dodd and Valentine, assuming he has returned from his travels, will now take on Peter Taylor and Shane Globits in the zone final in June.
Woolgoolga now also boasts the District reserve pairs champions, with Ron Goodsir and Don Gambrill claiming the final against Coffs Ex Services duo skipped by J Bishop 20-6.
This is the second time Don Gambrill has now won this event, the experience helping his team over the line.
In the semi final they proved too strong for the Park Beach team skippered by Rick White, while Bishop and partner defeated A Peterson from Urunga.
Urunga's Josh Forbes claimed the hat trick in the junior events in his final year as an under eighteen, teaming with West Coffs Corey Wedlock to defeat Ben Watson and David Johnson in the decider 29-18 at Macksville after trailing 13-0!.
And finally, The District Senior Pairs is down to just two sides, with Sawtell providing both finalists. The decider will see Paul Bartholomew and partner clash with Barry Brown and partner. Bartholomew reached the decider with a victory over yet another Sawtell side containing J Townsend. Brown defeated Aden pike from Coffs Ex Services to book his place in the final.
Next weekend will see round ten of the District pennants played.

Pennants Round Nine
The end results of Grades One, Three, Four and Six appear much clearer after a turbulent round nine, although despite some telling results, no one is over the line yet in these grades. Grade Two still hangs in the balance whilst the playoff for the Grade Five flag between Bowraville and Bellingen has occurred but the result not yet posted!
In the combined First & Second Grade event, Park Beach Firsts have closed in on a seventh successive district flag, defeating Sawtell at Sawtell 5-1 to move six clear with two rounds remaining. Park Beach two's failed to take advantage of Sawtell's defeat, losing to West Coffs 4-2, who have finally found some form late in the event. Urunga lifted themselves out of last place with a narrow 5-1 victory against Coffs Ex Services, who now seemed destined for relegation. Sawtell still hold the ascendancy in the race for the Second grade flag, leading Park Beach two by five points, the result looking to be decided in the last round of the year.
Grade Three is now a two horse race after Nambucca Heads crushed Park Beach on their home rink 6-0, winning by a massive margin of 41 shots to end the Park Beach season. Woolgoolga kep their slim hopes alive with a 5-1 away win at Sawtell however will need to score maximum points in both matches to trouble Nambucca.
In Grade Four, a win over nearest rivals Woolgoolga has placed Sawtell in a position to sew up the flag in round ten. A six nil result next week against Coffs Ex Services will guarantee a victory with the now second placed Scotts Head seven points adrift. Scotts Head will be devastated that the round eight scheduled clash with Sawtell didn't occur, with the chance to defeat the leaders potentially taken from them by mother nature, the washed out match only scheduled should it have a bearing on the final standings...
The result of the play off in Grade Five will be posted as it comes to hand.
Congrats to all the winning sides.
