The competition, being held on the carpet at the Werris Creek Bowling and Tennis Club, is the fourth club event in the BOTYA series with just three more club events to count towards an award that was won by Chris Herden last year.
North Tamworth Pairs (August 16), Manilla Triples (August 30/31) and Kootingal Triples (September 13/14) close out the series which began in February with CNDBA State 4’s at Willow Tree and State Triples at Manilla.
South Tamworth bowlers dominate the current standings, with South Tamworth Bowling Club barman Nick Golledge leading clubmates Chris Herden and Nathan Wise by 10 points.
Kootingal pair Kim Greentree and Graeme Harriott are next with South Tamworth’s Chris Collins and Scott Thorning equal sixth on 160 points, 120 behind the BOTYA leader.
BOTYA organiser Phil Johnson said tomorrow’s Werris Creek Triples would have four key absentees.
“Unfortunately Nathan (Wise), Chris (Herden), Nick (Golledge) and Scott (Thorning) are all playing in the State 4’s Playoffs in Armidale (Armidale Ex-Services),” Johnson said.
“They will still still earn 20 points (participation) but it means some of the other boys can catch up.
“It’s been another good competition,” he said.
“We have another three events after Werris Creek.
“The events have been well patronised.
“I’m not sure about Werris Creek but I know Manilla’s Triples are booked out.
“Norths and Kootingal’s events are always solid too.”
He said a presentation night for the BOTYA would be decided upon later in the year.
