Masters winner Pieter Harris

Pieter Harris, and Victoria Park superstar came from the clouds to win the Sorrento Master singles against a valiant Marko Krajancic in a terrific game of bowls 25/21.

This game started out with Marko doing it as he pleased, nothing was impossible for him to do and he was magnificent, any shot he chose to play, achieved the result he wanted.

He had young Pieter under the pump forcing him to drive and kill three ends very early in the game but not even Peter's terrific driving ability could get him out of the mess he was in.

Marko lead 7/0,11/3, and up to this stage had the Vic Park skipper on the ropes and on the way out, Suddenly things changed with Pieter grouping his bowls nice and close to the jack and picked up 3,3,3,

The score at 14/14 all, was the end of the game for Marko, tho we weren't to know this at the time, as Pieter Harris streaked away due to him picking up on his draw shot ability which was missing in the earlier part of the game to lead 24/16 , taking that score into account, he has scored after being 3/11 down, 21 shots toMarko's 5.

Well Marko wasn't going to lie down and die, fought tooth and nail to make it 21/24, as we know, many a player has won a four on the to be last end and won the game, he did it to win the Champion of Champion singles against Paul Pendergast last year.

This was something for all to see as a further indication of just how good a bowler Pieter really is. Congratulations to you Pieter Harris


The semi-finals:
Pieter Harris 25 defeated Aaron Delaporte 24.
Pieter was 18/23 down and managed to win this 25/24. Aaron would be happy to have done so well in this event, and probably kicking himself to lose with such a lead so close to home, well done Aaron for a great effort.

Marko Krajancic 25 defeated Stu_Bainbridge 15. Stu has put in a mighty effort for this event and maybe this will help him to go one stage further next year. Well done Stu.



Pieter showing his style as Marko shows a keen interest as to where his bowl will land.
