After his brilliant performance in the New Zealand Deaf Championships at the start of the month, David Hayward went within a shot of emulating Mario Mastronardi's recent 300 game.
Bowling in the Alpine Pharmacy Sunday Doubles, Hayward rolled a 298 after starting with the first eleven strikes. The deaf star was visibly shaking as he went for his final shot and the nerves proved too much, coming up with an eight count.
Hayward was upset at first after missing the perfect game, which would have been the first in Australia by a deaf player, but soon realised it was a great effort all the same.
In the first two games of the night Hayward rolled 216-199 and finished the evening with a nice 715 series.
