Congratulations to Kenta Treacher who is our 2026 Men’s major Singles Champion. Kenta defeated Tyson Wilson 25-23 in what was a match of the highest standard.
Tyson started the stronger, winning 6 of the first 8 ends to lead 10-3. It was then Kenta’s turn to go on a run, winning 7 of the next 8 ends to take the lead 15-11. The next 4 ends were shared, but then Kenta picked up a score of 3 to take the lead out to 22-14 & only 3 shots away from victory. Tyson would not give up though, winning 5 consecutive ends to make the score 22-21 & now anyone’s game. Kenta then steadied, picking up back to back singles to move within 1 shot of victory, 24-21. A score of 2 to Tyson made the score 24-23 & truly anyone’s game, but it was Kenta who would score the 1 shot he needed, taking the match & the Championship, 25-23. Congratulations to both players who put on a fantastic display of bowls for the spectators both on hand to watch, & those who viewed the match on the Live Stream.
