A good draw shot player will beat a good driver any day ? A often repeated & confusing statement, Why ? Maybe if the driver only drives with every bowl in every end of the match. Rob Parrella plays with accuracy using both the draw shot & drive shot along with many delicately weighted shots in beetwen. I admire him also for playing social bowls ( to win ) not often that He gets beat ( most star players dont play social bowls ) but Rob plays social bowls & promotes the Sport of Lawn Bowls with a Passion. The game of lawn bowls has benefited greatly from having Rob Parrella transfer his sportng prowess & intrest from Bocce ( Australian Champion ) to lawn bowls. I learned a lot about the sport of lawn bowls when I was young just from watching Rob play.
Wish they’d bring this format back. A great match to watch!
Thanks for the upload, really enjoyable. 😁
A great game of contrasting styles - fantastic driving Vs consistent drawing

Is that Steve Swan marking?
Parella is an absolute goose
the toucher of Parella's drive flew out of the rink rather than follow the kitty to the ditch, so he pinched one shot from Curtis that end,

jeff burrows is my dad

Re spot is not a good thing y should U be punished for good bowls re spot only introduced by Premier league for night games
respots take all the tactics out of the game. it's why I have quit.
