Wee Waa's Justin Knight will represent Zone 3 in the open singles while Armidale City's Steven Fuller will compete in the seniors and Lightning Ridge's Paul Brown is going away in the presidents reserve.
The Zone 3 finals were played at Inverell Sporties with the closest game coming in the open singles.
Knight had shot to an 18-10 lead over Gunnedah's Sam Pryor before Pryor hit back.
The Gunnedah bowler slowly pegged back the deficit and took a one-shot lead late in the piece.
An umpire's measure was needed at the death to determine the winner with Knight winning 31-30.
It was close in the president's reserve as well with Brown scoring a 31-27 win over Gunnedah's Caleb Cameron.
