Slick Shorten first to get his name on Johnny Holland Cup

John Shorten’s name is the first on the Johnny Holland Cup after a line-to-line win over Wayne Callanan and Killian Kingston at Bauravilla on Sunday.

Kingston got three poor opening bowls to the cross, which gave both Shorten and Callanan a bowl of odds start.

The leaders were short of the netting in two more. Shorten then got a great bowl to Dekker’s to stretch his lead to almost a bowl on Callanan and well over a bowl on Kingston. He made the rock in two more where he was a bowl clear of Callanan and almost two on Kingston.
