Andrew Montgomery and Troy Makin from Ocean Shores Bowling Club were crowned Tweed Byron open pairs champions after beating Condong in the regional final played last weekend.

Andrew and Troy won the pairs game 30–7.

Troy played for last year’s NSW country side but this was the first time he had partnered with Andrew, according to club representative Lee Roberts.

‘They combined really well, and played great bowls together,’ he said.

The final was delayed for several weeks owing to the flooding and was played at the Seahorse Arena at the Ocean Shores Country Club.

The successful pair will take on other regional champions vying for the right to represent the zone in a state-wide comp later this year.
