Illawarra won the Fours competition and finished as the top overall zone in the 7-A-Side Junior Inter-Zone Championship at Figgy Bowlo last weekend.

The Illawarra (Red) Fours side of Toby Peters (Warilla), Perry Avnell (Dapto), Jayden Gebbie (Warilla, skip) and Kate Davis (Warilla) were undefeated and beat Zone 2, 17-15 in the final.

The final was the sternest test for Illawarra, who won their three sectional games by a combined +36 shot margin on Saturday.

Illawarra Red had a 21-3 win over Zone 10, plus a 15-10 win over Zone 14 in round two and 27-14 victory over Zone 3 in round 3.

Illawarra Red then beat Zone 5, 21-11 in the semi-finals and with the whole rink playing well edged out a strong Zone 2 by two shots in a high quality final.

With points allocated to Singles, Pairs and Fours, Illawarra Zone 16 convincingly captured the overall Inter-Zone title.

Australian representative Dylan Skinner finished fifth in Singles, with Madeline Goncalves (Warilla) and partner Jordan Taylor (Dapto Citizens) also fifth overall in Pairs.

In both Singles and Pairs, Illawarra's top team were beaten once in their sectional round to be left as runners-up in their section and qualify for the 5th to 8th place playoffs, which they won.

Skinner beat the Zone 15 representative, 25-11 to finish fifth in the Singles, while in the Pairs, Goncalves-Taylor had a tense 18-17 win over Zone 2 in their fifth place decider.

Illawarra had a second side at the two-day titles with Corrimal's Jarrod Beckford finishing ninth overall in Singles and Warilla's Kayleigh Darlington and Courtney Sopher also ninth in Pairs.

Warilla's Ryan Noronha, Darren Gumley, Noel Stopher (skip) and Dapto's Chloe Koziol combined in the Fours to win one of their sectional games and then both their matches in the 13th to 16th playoffs to be placed 13th overall.

Conditions changed from hot and humid on the Saturday to cooler on the Sunday with the championships featuring some of the top under 18s bowlers in NSW.
