Jason Greenslade had two impressive wins in the men’s bowls singles while women’s pair Alison Merrien and Rose Ogier beat Australia on Friday.<\/p>\n
Merrien and Ogier made it two wins from two as they overcame Dawn Hayman and Kelsey Cottrell in their pool game.<\/p>\n
The islanders crushed their opponents 10-1 in the opening set before a 5-2 win in the second.<\/p>\n
They will face Zambia on Saturday morning as they look to preserve their perfect start to the event.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Greenslade – who narrowly lost to Australia’s Aaron Wilson on Thursday – dropped just four shots in his 2-0 win over Botswana’s Diza Mphotho in his opening game of the day.<\/p>\n
He came back from 3-0 down to win the first set 10-3 before blitzing the second 16-1.<\/p>\n
Greenslade went on to beat Namibia’s Waylon Wentzel 2-0 later on Friday.<\/p>\n
The former World Indoor champion was never behind in the game as he took the first set 7-3 before winning the second 11-2 to put him in a strong position in his pool.<\/p>\n
He will face Cook Islands’ Royden Aperau on Saturday evening in the fourth of his six pool matches.<\/p>\n
“I really, really feel settled in now, and I certainly feel at home on the green,” Greenslade told BBC Guernsey.<\/p>\n
“It does normally take a couple of days to settle in, but certainly after a loss yesterday I knew I had to come out strong and earn two wins, and I am quite pleased.<\/p>\n
“I certainly upped my game and I played well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason Greenslade had two impressive wins in the men’s bowls singles while women’s pair Alison Merrien and Rose…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":821539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-821538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=821538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/821539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=821538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=821538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=821538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
