SBW Sad in doubt to see for test filly go Sport P15 P18 Wilson hits top form

By Matt Markham [email protected] Leading Ashburton indoor bowler, Grant Wilson will be looking to turn back the clock six years later this season when he heads to the New Zealand final of the Henselite Singles. Wilson won the event in 2013 and is the only Ashburton player to have done so, and earned the right to head back to one of the sport’s biggest stages at the end of September by winning the Ash- burton play-off on Sunday at the Mc- Nally Street Stadium. A former South Island member, Wil- son emerged on top of a strong field of players, which featured current former South Island representatives and a New Zealand representative, to win the title. Twelve players took to the mats at the tournament with only four players gain- ing the necessary wins to qualify for the knockout stage of the competition. Wilson was joined in one semi-final by Colin Gilbert while Ken Mackenzie and Mat Bassett squared off in the other. Wilson manged to get past Gilbert 13-8 while Mackenzie was too good for Willowby team-mate Bassett, winning 12-7. The final was a closely fought affair between two of Ashburton’s best players but it was Wilson who did the necessary to get the win, claiming a 10-7 margin at the end of the match. Wilson’s good form will have him in a good head space ahead of this weekend where he will be a key member of the Ashburton side heading to Collingwood to compete for the Paterson Trophy. New Zealand’s regional bowls compe- tition, the Paterson Trophy is played for over six different zones throughout New Zealand with individual zone-winning sides heading on to compete for the Welch Trophy later in the season. Ashburton won last year’s event and finished third at the Welch so will be out to solidify their spot there this year and push for higher honours. Wilson will this year play three to Mi- chael Lawson in one side with Russell Ellis and Murray Bassett off the front while Mat Bassett, Ken Mackenzie, Graeme Chapman and Maurice Sun- beam make up the remainder of the side. Play begins on Friday night with the first session before three more rounds on Saturday and then a final round on Sunday morning. Ashburton will face teams from Can- terbury, West Coast, Marlborough, Nel- son and Golden Bay and Motueka.
