NICK Channon followed up his success in Wellington Bowling Club’s singles competition by winning the mixed pairs event with his wife Sue.

The final against Mike and Liz Copping was a closely fought battle. The match was close from the start. Mike and Liz were 6-3 up after six ends and looking good but the Channons fought back to level it at six all after eight ends.

In the 10th Sue and Nick collected a game changing six shots which carried them through to a well fought victory by 15 shots to 7.

The match was thoroughly enjoyed by players and spectators alike.
