Dunedin bowler Peter Wilson suffered his share of misfortune to exit the Welsh grand prix at Swansea today.
Wilson bowed out in the second round after losing his second round match 6-6 7-8 to England's Mark Royal.
Royal needed a lucky last shot to draw the first set as Wilson was 6-4 up and holding on the head, but the Englishman drove, hitting up a short bowl into the head, removing Wilson's shot and tipping the jack back to two of Royal's bowls.
Wilson appeared to lose his weight early in the second set and allowed Royal the early advantage before battling back although a three on the last end was not enough for him to save the match.
