Henry skipped his Warilla teams to victory in the 2014 Illawarra pairs, triples and fours championships to complete an amazing season for zone 16's strongest club.
The state championships finals at Ettalong Memorial BC are run over eight days from October 18 and feature the 16 zone winners in NSW in fours, triples, pairs and singles, plus senior and state president's reserve singles and pairs.
While a host of players have qualified for two state finals, Henry is the only representative chasing three state crowns.
Henry and Warilla stalwart Wayne Crane will feature on the opening day of the championships in the state pairs, while Henry and Crane are joined by Jamie Mitchell as Illawarra zone 16's triples representatives.
Henry, Mitchell, Mat McIntyre and Aaron Teys will team up in the fours, while Warilla are also represented by Geoff McGillivray in the senior singles and by Jamie Nabbe, who won the zone 16 president's reserve singles title.
Corrimal's new bowls co-ordinator Brett Pieper is Illawarra's representative in the blue-ribbon state singles after becoming the first player in almost 30 years to win back to back zone 16 singles championships.
Winning a state title is one of the biggest achievements in bowls, while for world champion Henry it would cap off an incredible 12 months in which he helped Warilla win a fifth grade 1 pennants title in seven years plus won his second straight Bowls World Cup crown on the indoor carpet at Warilla.
