Just two days into the national bowls championships in Dunedin, the cream is already beginning to rise to the top. That same year Edwards won the singles title, and when the women's qualifying rounds kick off at 8.30am Sunday morning, will no doubt be looking to emulate the 2011 twin title victories. The composite pair of Bev Morel and Sherrie Cottle topped section four, while the host Taieri club had success with the pair of Dale Bourk and Beth Brown topping section five. Blackjack Ali Forsyth overcame his first day blues notching up three from three with composite pairs partner and fellow Blackjack Gary Lawson. Shannon McIlroy and Richard Girvan are among other Blackjacks to remain unbeaten after the first three rounds.
