Father and son combination Glenn and Corey Wedlock have proven they will be a force to be reckoned with on the mid north coast after claiming the 2013 Urunga club pairs crown with a victory over Garry Banks and Grahame Horne 20-17. The win backs up the pairs title won by the duo at West Coffs the year before. To cap it off the pair have qualified for the Australian Open held at Darebin this week. They have performed well winning their opening match but succumbing to former Commonwealth Games medallist Mark Jacobsen in a tie break in the second round.
Woolgoolga is also racing through club championships, with Dave Valentine and Shayne Dodd continuing where they left off last year, this time teaming with Wayne Genge to claim the club triples in a nail biter over John Taylor, Laurie Walsh and Peter Chase. The match was in the balance before a count of four on the 22nd end swung the game in Dodd and Co's favour. The win was especially sweet for Wayne, as this was his first major championship success.
The club fours has also been determined with Skipper Tony Greenshields and his side Dave Holland, Shayne Dodd (subbing for Peter Holland) and Billy Boyle getting over Ian Brien's side of Dave Valentine (subbing for Ray Herrick), Barry Carter and Ray Kauffman 28-23. Tony has now claimed three club fours championships in a row, with two of these as a skip.
Finally the Woolgoolga club singles has reached the finals stage, with John Hurrell set to celebrate his return to the club after a year at Park Beach with a place in the decider against Ian Bryant.
Good luck to both players involved.
Til Next Time...

Club Champs 2013
2013 club events are well under way at all clubs within the MNC district. West Coffs, Park Beach, Urunga and Sawtell have all concluded their club fours championships and are moving into the next events.
At Urunga Graham Horne has skippered his side of G Banks, B Inskip and Danny Knight to a thrilling one shot victory over R Sharkey, Bruce Hardman, Josh Shearim and Brett McDonnell. The winners timed their run well, trailing for the majority of the match, only taking the lead on the next to last end. The return of Josh Shearim to Urunga from Bellingen will help to bolster the clubs pennant chances in the coming weeks.
West Coffs are winning on and off the green, with the club set to be out of voluntary administration in the coming months. On the green, Wayne "Dutchy" Holland has taken his foursome to the club title, his team of Wally Bujeya, Col Amos and Dave Russell out pointing Frank Chetcuti, Alan Taylor, Roy Vines and skip Brock Varley in the decider. Despite the loss, the result is very promising for Varley, who has been bowling for only two years and is in his first full season at the club after starting his bowls career in Penrith.
Sawtell played their club fours final in wet and wild conditions. The quartet of Dennis Anderson, Jim Blaikie, Marty Beerman and George Fisher won the day over Norm Sillar, G Burns, Geoff Peel and Graham Horne.
Park Beach stalwart Jim Swan has gone back to back in the club fours. After only just claiming the 2012 title in late November he has taken his team to the 2013 title. The side of John Eding, Terry Kadwell and Phil Hall were the better side on the day of the final, controlling the match against John Bain, Don Wood (subbing for Andrew Campbell), Marty Wilson and Rod Farmer from the outset.
The club pairs has also been decided at Parky with Phil Toy and Dennis Brown solid winners in the decider against Neil Bowes and Peter Haber. Toy and Brown won a number of tight matches to reach the final, including an extra end win in the quarter final, whilst the duo of Bowes and Haber defeated a number of highly rated sides to get the last game, including 2011 champions John Eding and Terry Kadwell.
Park Beach must be looking forward to the new pennant season, with new members Wilson, Haber, Hall and Campbell all clearly playing well.
More results will follow shortly, with the club pairs final being played at Urunga today, and Woolgoolga having completed their club triples. These results in the next post.
Cheers,
Chippy
