Nambour's two champions, Gayle and Corey, both put in outstanding performances despite bowing out in the first round of their respective championships.
Gayle faced Dorelle from Headland Pacific and found herself in early trouble, trailing 9–0. True to form, Gayle showed her fighting spirit, steadily working her way back into the match before eventually going down by the narrowest of margins, 25–24. It was a terrific comeback and a great display of determination.
Corey, competing in his very first championship, came up against the experienced Dominic from Palmwoods. It was always going to be a challenging contest, but Corey matched his opponent for much of the game as the scores remained close. Dominic opened up a 18–13 lead, but Corey responded strongly to close the gap to 20–18. Despite his spirited comeback, Dominic regained control and went on to win 26–18.
Congratulations to both Gayle and Corey on their excellent efforts. A special mention to Corey, who has only been playing bowls for 18 months. His performance showed tremendous promise, and he certainly did Nambour proud. He has a very bright future in the game.
