BY COLIN THORSEN
Ken Bardsley is best known locally for his extraordinary exploits over a long and illustri- ous darts career. But the 180 expert showed his allround sporting ability by win- ning nine medals in 10 different events at the 20th ACC New Zealand Masters Games in Wanganui. Competing in the 60-65 age group, Bardsley started the ball rolling with three tennis medals — silver in both the doubles and combines, and bronze in the singles. His doubles partner was from Wanganui and combines partner from Taupo. It was then onto the indoor rowing machine, claiming three further silver medals over dis- tances of 300m, 500m and 1000m, followed by three bronze in golf (net), euchre (32 games a day) and hammer throw. ‘‘Sometimes you go to the Games and never get to come home with a medal, I’m stoked with my lot,’’ says Bardsley.
