Mark Casey beats clubmate to win Wintersun bowls tournament
July 21, 2008
Ballina’s Wintersun Singles at the Cherry Street Bowling Club produced top-class bowls from some of Australia’s best lawn bowlers.
Mark Casey, of Helensvale, beat clubmate Nathan Rice 31-25 in yesterday’s final to take the $3000 first prizemoney.
Tournament favourite Steve Glasson was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Rice, but any disappointment was countered by the fact that he won a car in a tournament at Coffs Harbour on Friday.

Australia’s No bowler Steve Glasson is among the quality field contesting this weekend’s Wintersun Singles at the Cherry Street Bowling Club in Ballina.
“Glasson has been recognised as one of Australia’s top bowlers since he took out the Australian Indoor Singles title way back in 1994,” the club’s publicity officer, Ken Clarke, said.
“He is competing in a Section with Blair Barringer from New Zealand, Ryan Bester from Canada, and Coffs Harbour regular Alan Carver.”
The action gets under way on Saturday, with the finals on Sunday.
