While Dunedin lawn bowls fans were hoping for a home-town win in yesterday's national men’s fours final between the North East Valley club and a composite team from Christchurch, there was a nice touch to the final result.
Nick Buttar |
Leading for the composite team, which won the final 21-8, was 21-year-old Nick Buttar, son of the late Stewart Buttar (1968-71). Stewart, a former national bowls representative and national coach, died in March 2006 and Nick acknowledged he thought of his father throughout the morning leading into the final.
Stewart Buttar won the fours’ title in 1993 and both the pairs and fours a year later. He also took a Commonwealth Games’ fours’ bronze medal in 1994 before becoming a highly popular and successful national coach. The 2008 fours’ title was Nick Buttar’s first at national level.
