State titles for HIBBA players
LAST week’s state titles saw plenty of action for members of the Heytesbury Indoor Bias Bowls Assocation.
The first weekend of VIBBA events, which were hosted at Warrnambool, proved fruitful for Heytesbury players.
In the ladies’ pairs event, Pam Wines and Lara Mungean, Harmony Rasmussen and Bec Heard, and Pam Dwyer and Jean Clover played well but unfortunately their campaigns all ended on Saturday.
In the mens’ pairs, Noah and honorary Heytesbury player Jim Bullow also had their campaigns cut short on Saturday.
For the remaining pairs, Brett Mungean and Brendan Keane from Warrnambool came across Scott Pierce and Justin Rasmussen in the semi-finals.
Scott and Justin were successful in booking themselves a spot in the grand final against the Warrnambool team of George Draffen and Rob McRabb.
After the score levelled at 14-all on the last end, Scott and Justin won the event to be crowned the 2024 VIBBA Mens’ Pairs champions.
On Sunday, Pam Wines and Jodie Jones (eastern suburbs), Kathryn Wines and Lara Mungean, along with the mens’ fours side of Brett, Noah and Jason Mungean and Jim Bullow (eastern suburbs) had their campaigns cut short.
