MELKSHAM and Shaw bowler Darren Anteney, pictured right, is the new Wiltshire Singles short mat bowls champion.
The talented teenager saw off competition from 47 other players to lift the trophy at the Christie Miller leisure centre.
Anteney beat county veteran Adrian Bray 15-4 in the semi-final to set up a championship decider with Wiltshire treasurer Denis Smith.
Smith conceded the final with one end still to play to give Anteney the title.
The youngster has now been invited to join the Wiltshire short mat bowls squad.
