THE lawn bowls fraternity has another star on the rise with Dunkeld local, Darren “Cat” Gordon winning through to the grand final of the Australian Indoor Championships at Tweed Heads Bowls Club on Thursday where he finished runner-up.

After winning his way through the four rounds of qualifying in Warrnambool earlier in the year, Gordon found himself in the top 32 bowlers in Australia, gaining entry into the biggest tournament to date in his career.
