Three teams battled through the eight rounds undefeated, but it was a pair of young Australian reps who took home the title on shot difference.

Jack McShane and Kane Nelson took out the title with plus 96 shots.

Nelson has previously represented Moama in the Bowls Premier League.

Gary Kelly and Corey Wedlock finished runner-up in the event for the third time, 25 shots back.

Curtis Hanley and Mathew O’Brien rounded out the trio of perfect pairs.

Moama Bowling Club bowls operations manager Kevin Anderson, who also competed, said the event was a great success and an opportunity to use a live scoring system for the first time, with one game from each round streamed live on the Bowls Victoria Youtube channel.

“Everyone was online and interactive, which is a good step forward for the game,” he said.
