Narrabri Sporties’ 2020 Major Singles men’s bowls champion Trinity Kelly will have the chance to defend his title after qualifying for the 2021 final with a semi-final victory on Saturday.
Kelly became the Major Singles champion for the second time in three years in October last year when he downed Kevin Baguley 33-29.
This year, he will take on Norm Walford in the 2021 decider.
Kelly met Len Ryan in their semi-final match on Saturday and was victorious 31-8.
