75 | Aron Sherriff: Chasing Five in a Row at the Australian Open

Episode 75 - Aron Sherriff: Chasing Five in a Row at the Australian Open

Episode 75 is here - three quarters of a ton - and it’s Australian Open time!

This week DJ and Simon are joined once again by the legend himself, Aron “Omar” Sherriff, as he prepares for another huge Australian Open campaign at Broadbeach.

Aron talks about his lead-in to the event, his preparation, stepping away from state and international duties, keeping his competitive fire burning, and what it would mean to continue one of the most incredible winning streaks in lawn bowls.

At the time of recording, Aron was chasing a fifth straight Australian Open singles title and eighth overall - a record that is already hard to comprehend. He also gives his thoughts on Queensland’s latest selections, the Commonwealth Games format, Australia’s team chances, and the challenge of competing on carpet.

DJ and Simon also cover the scale of the Australian Open, Daryl Clout’s honour, Ghana’s first national championships, Natasha Van Eldik joining Club Maitland City, and plenty more from around the bowls world.
