National Bowling Arm Sides Championship

 

 

Victoria has secured its fifth successive National Bowling Arm Sides Championship – taking out the 2017 title on home soil at Moama Bowling Club.
The Armed Vics beat off their four interstate rivals to keep the trophy they first won in 2013 for another year.
Under the accumulative scoring system decided by rink points, NSW led the Vics by a single shot going into Victoria’s final match.
With NSW having a bye in the final round, Victoria needed just one rink win in their final match against South Australia for victory.
