The Castlemaine Bowling Club congratulates Jack Taylor on reaching the Semi Final in the State Novice Singles.
Jack was the representative for Bendigo Campaspe Region after winning his way through the preliminary games in Bendigo.
A large contingent of bowlers from Castlemaine travelled to Mulgrave Country Club to support Jack in this prestigious event.
In the first game Jack played Paul Lockman (Clayton) representing Sandbelt, winning 21/13.
In the second game Jack defeated Daniel Earl (Traralgon -RSL) Strezlecki won that 21/14.
In the Semi Finals Jack played Joel Clark (City Oval) Ballarat Highlands, this was a very exciting and close game which could have gone either way with both bowlers sitting on the Jack most ends. Unfortunately, Jack went down 18/21. A great effort Jack! Castlemaine and Bendigo Campaspe are very proud of you.
