MORTLAKE had two teams remaining in the WDPA men’s pairs championships at Dennington last Sunday.
Congratulations to Darren Grant and Colin Goldsworthy, and Kevin Johnson who played with honorary Laker Barry Bowen.
Darren and Colin met up with J and P Ellis from Koroit and despite a fightback to potentially draw the match, they fell short by one shot.
This was a great effort by them both.
Kevin and Barry played against M Fleming and B O'Rourke From City Memorial BC and were able to secure their place in the final against the Ellis’ from Koroit.
In the final, Kevin and Barry tried their best but couldn't contain the Ellis factor.
Well done to the 2023-24 WDPA men’s pairs runners-up Kevin Johnson and Barry Bowen.
