Mitch Cole wins Kangaroo Flat Bowls Club men's singles championship at 15

And he has a title to prove it.

The young gun is the toast of the Kangaroo Flat Bowls Club after upstaging his older rivals to win his first men's club championship.

Played two days before Christmas, Cole captured the title with a resounding 25-6 victory over John Berry.

His win ranks him as one of the youngest bowlers in Victoria to have won a club championship.

He joins elite company, headed by Victorian representative and one-time world under 25 champion Dylan Fisher, who won his first club title as an 11-year-old at Mount Eliza.

Victorian team members Curtis Hanley and Tayla Morison also achieved the feat, aged 16 and 17 respectively, last year at Melbourne Bowling Club.

Cole, who has this season stepped up to Kangaroo Flat's division one pennant team, has been tinkering with bowls for eight years.

He has his mother to thank for introducing him to the sport.

"One of mum's friends at work got an email about social bowls and trying it out, plus my uncle (John Watson) already played at Maryborough and is quite good," Cole said.

"I came along with mum and some people at the club said I had some potential, so it went from there.

"When Pop was alive he used to play carpet bowls and when I was four, anytime there was school holidays I would tag along."

By the time he was 12, Cole had graduated to the pennant ranks.

After a solitary game in division five, the skilful youngster was elevated to division two, where he remained until this season.

While wins for the Roos have been few and far between, Cole said he was enjoying the challenge of playing in the Bendigo Bowls Division's top level.

"I've learned everything I know from my skipper Geoff Boyd .... I beat him the semi-final of the club championship, but I was only able to win because of what he's taught me," he said.

"He's coached me, he picks me up and takes me to  bowls .... a lot of people at the club help get me to the games."

Home games are not so much of a problem as away games. Cole, who is also a promising midfielder for Kangaroo Flat's under 16 football team, lives a mere two minutes from the club's greens.

It is here where he hopes to remain, unless higher honours come his way.

That's a possibility, with Cole currently a member of the Bowls Victoria state under-18 silver squad.

It was his commitments with the state squad that nearly ended his club championship dream.

"I had an under-18 Victorian training day, but the club allowed me to postpone my game and play my second round game when I could," he said.

"I'm grateful for that.

"I know I won't be leaving this club anytime soon."

Cole has continued his excellent form in the new year, combining with Roy Baxter and Lindsay Troy to win the Maryborough Highland Society Bowls Club monster triples last week.

The trio, with Cole as skipper, was the only five game winner from six games played.

A second Kangaroo Flat combination of Wally Boyd, Geoff Boyd and Max Watts (skipper) was runner-up.

Kangaroo Flat men's president David Martin said everyone at the club was proud of Cole's achievement.

"He's probably the youngest in the association to win a club championship," he said.

"We're proud of him and he's a great little bloke to have around the club.

"He probably hasn't done it as easy as a lot of young kids, but he mixes well with people of all ages and all the members like him and enjoy having him around."

Martin tipped a promising future for the youngster, who snared the club championship at his first attempt.

"Like a lot of young kids, as long as he doesn't let things get ahead of him, but certainly with a bit of coaching he has the chance to play some state level bowls," he said.

"We'd like to have him around forever, but he's only young and you don't know where the future will take him.

"We won't hold him back if the chance comes along for him to improve his bowls and get ahead."
