The Summit’s bowls club fours are set to represent the Group Three region at the State finals in October after beating Roma in Chinchilla in a tight game at the weekend.
The team of Glenn Preston, Cameron Wilson, Adrian Jackson and Jamie Zamprogno came from behind to beat Roma 22-21 and earn their spot in the finals.
The win put an end to a Roma white wash in the playoffs with the club winning the other three disciplines.
The Summit’s mixed pairs representatives Elana Scott and Dale Callaghan were eliminated on Friday afternoon by the Roma Pair of Jocelyn Haylock and John Hammond.
The Roma Pair went on to win the final and will represent the Group in the state playoffs.

The Summit fours team defeated a Tara team in the morning and met the Roma team of N. Wichlacz, D. Turnbull, John Hammond and skipped by Rob Hammond.
It looked as if Roma would win all four disciplines as they led by 16 shots to five and had led 19 shots to 8 after 12 ends. The Summit team staged a great recovery and led Roma 21 shots to 20 after 20 ends. Roma scored a single to tie the scores 21 all. In the extra end Jamie drew the shot with his first bowl to win the game 22 – 21. This was a great comeback against Roma who were the form players of the weekend.

A great day was had at the Warwick East bowls club for the club’s inaugural two-bowl singles.
There were 21 bowlers playing in seven sections of three, thankyou to the umpire Julie Foster for filling in to make up the numbers. After all the sectionals the competition went into the finals and after some great bowls and very close games including a couple of extra ends needed,
It was Wayne Foster who came from behind to defeat Ray Southee in one of the games that needed an extra end.
