KEY POINTS:
Powerful Christchurch club Elmwood has a chance to create history in New Zealand bowls.
No club has won both national inter-club first division titles in the same year and both Elmwood's men's and women's teams are in the finals in Palmerston North today.
However the major talking point is the appearance of Wellington's star-laden Eastbourne club.
Eastbourne took the long path to the finals due to a disputed regional playoff because of rained-off matches.
