Congratulations to Graham Scooter Coombs in winning the Rockhampton Eliminator today. Scooter had to defeated John Dunn twice in the final to take home the trophy.
The morning started with 1st reserve John Dunn getting a spot due to late arrival of one competitor. In the first round he defeated top qualifier Graham Allen and continued to go through to the final undefeated (even including a 2 game tie breaker with Nathan Stein after a tie in the second round...)
Short price favourite Dale Warren and former Rocky Junior Zac Burgess were eliminated after 2 rounds. And once Shaun Dunn was knocked out in the third round, the result was wide open (thank god I played him on 1 & 2, gotta love that wall hey Shaun
Local Brad Ross bowled well and took me down in round 4 only to be defeated by Scooter Coombs in round 5. The field only lefty, Graham Allen also eliminated Stuart Crowley to progress to round 6.
The 2 Rocky Graham's then had to face off to see who met JD in the final. Scooter was too good on the burn and proceeded to beat Graham and then John Dunn twice to take out his first Wide Bay title.
Whilst it was a small field, I would like to thank all of those that travelled up (or down in the case of Mackay) to attend. We certainly appreciated your support of the first Wide Bay event to be held in Rockhampton. There has been a number of Rocky bowlers who have travelled thousands of kilometers to support the wide bay tour over the past 4 years and it was great to finally have a 'home' event. Unfortunately there was not more who were willing and able to make the trip, but I hope those that did, enjoyed the weekend (the lane conditions certainly challenged all of us at times (or for some, perhaps too many times)
