Bayliss, 16, produced some superb draw bowling on the free-flowing Wodonga greens.

He defeated Wodonga’s Josh Rudd 25-23 in a semi-final which was a particularly high standard.

Bayliss led early, but Rudd knuckled down and fought back with his ability to convert shots keeping him in the game.

It was a tight finish, but Bayliss had a sufficient break to sneak home.

In the final, Bayliss faced another Wodonga challenger, Jason King, and it was a similar story.

The outstanding touch of Bayliss with his draw bowling enabled him to lead 13-4 after 11 ends.

It was from that point a game of draw shots and well-weighted conversions which kept the many spectators enthralled.

King got to within six shots late in the game.

But Bayliss continually managed to draw a telling bowl within 30 centimetres of the jack and finally won 25-19.
