HONG KONG—After finishing second in the singles at the Hong Kong International Bowls Classic a week earlier, Irish bowler Aaron Tennant took a step further last Sunday, Nov 18, by partnering with compatriot Ian McClure to win the pairs, a title Ireland last won in 2005.
The Irish Duo finished top of their group in the roundrobin stage, defeating all opponents in the process. In the semi-finals, they faced a strong New Zealand team, who knocked out the defending champions Australia in the play-off. It was a tight game and the Irish needed the tiebreaker to edge through to the final.
