The Dubbo junior produced some clutch rolls in the gold medal match against South Coast, earning a tip of the cap from Western skip Ben Cox – the highest accolade a bowler can receive from their skip.
Western’s fours went on to win one rink 25-8 and the other 14-7, claiming a 24-shot overall win and with it the 2017 state title.
“I’m very pleased, we were pretty big underdogs but it was an awesome effort,” Callaway said.
“It’s about consistency, and having a solid eight as well.
“We’re not a side full of superstars but we’re a very steady eight and they played really well as a team.”
Consistency was certainly a trait Western possessed, the side went through the three day tournament unbeaten.
Ball was unlucky not to earn NSW selection in what was a superb performance.
