Women's O60s State Triples
Women,s Over 60s State Triples Second title for Poletti, Spragg and Andersen
by Pieter Harris
The final of the Women’s Over 60’s State Triples saw the composite team of Lee Poletti, Vicki Spragg and Kerry Andersen claim their second triples title when they defeated the North Beach combination of Janet Cocks, Rhonda Prosser and Debbie Rhine on Friday November 27th 2020.
Earlier in the day we were treated to two down to the line semi-finals when both games went to an extra end. In the first Semi-final the Janet Cocks team had to fight hard in a dour battle against the Bev Baker skipped team comprising Irene Arndt and Liz Marshall.
With the Warwick Bowling Club greens running well, the two teams ended the game locked together on 13 all. Before Janet Cocks prevailed with a single to move into the final.
If possible, the second Semi-final had even more tension with both team’s bowls going back and forth and umpire measures thrown in for good measure. In a high scoring game Poletti overcame 2017-18 champions Noelene Abe, Liz Matthews and Sue Hogg 19-18.
• Women's O60s Triples winners: Lee Poletti, Kerry Andersen and Vicki Spragg.
The Poletti, Spragg and Andersen combination last won the title in 2013-14 and having reached this final they were not going to let another opportunity slip. Leading from the front, Poletti slowly built a lead over Cocks, Prosser and Rhine and were never headed as they had a comfortable victory 23-15 to take the 2020-21 Over 60s State Triples Championship.
