Australia Day Ambrose

A good field turned out for the Australia Day Ambrose with the team of Harry Bender and Josh Howarth taking out the major voucher with the very good score of 59 nett.

The pair had to survive a countback with the runners-up Ian Nightingale and Luke Bennett also on 59 nett.

Other teams to play well and figure in the ball competition were Frazer and Scott Hamment, Don Lovett and Rob George, Gary Keen and Max McCann and Rob Arnott and Ashton Arnott-Webb.

Nearest to the pin awards went to Nick Bender on the ninth (160cm) and Brett Roach on the 18th (178cm).

Along with the last round of the age championships, the Zig Zag Cup sponsored by the Lithgow Zig Zag Motel will also be held in conjunction with the championships.
