Congratulations to George Frilingos and Rebecca Simpson for taking the Arafura Singles Classic. 
In contrasting pathways, George Frilingos lead from Game 2 of the finals and was unchallenged for the lead, finishing a clear 200 from 2nd place Ronald Voukolos. Over night leaders Cameron Walsh and Bruno Maglieri, dropping down to 3rd and 5th respectively.
In the first final, Ronald took on 3rd placing Cameron Walsh with Drew Charlton who rounded out 4th place. Ronald making quick work of the 2 right handers who appeared to struggle on the challenging lanes.
In the mens final the home town legend took on Australia's No.1 ranked bowler. It was an all left handed battle, Frilingos proving too strong mid game to seal the win throwing strikes in frames 6 to 9. After leaving a solid 6-8 out of the pocket and missing a 7 pin Ronald never looked comfortable against the top seed. Frilingos, just banged them in there, winning the match 229 to 189.
In the womens final it was an all righty affair and local against local as Rebecca Simpson took on the winner of the 1st semi final Michelle Halprin. Michelle and Rebecca exchanging the lead several times during the match.
In an absolute nail biter, Rebecca needed 2 strikes in the 10th frame to steal the win in the sudden death final. Rebecca sealed the deal by just banging them in there! Rebecca threw 2 strikes and a 6 count to give her the win, 176 to 170.
A great run tournament on a challenging wood surface. A big thank you to June and the Bowl staff for the hard work they put into the event. Thank you to Ian Nichol who provided live scores for the world to see.
This week, Perth!
