Crawford, a community relations adviser at the Dunedin Branch of Inland Revenue, beat Janet Swallow (Taieri) 21-15 in the final of the champion of champions singles.
She is ranked third-equal on the Bowls Dunedin champions list with Dawn Richards. The only bowlers ahead of her are Gaynor Reid with 24 titles and Doreen Bell on 21.
The St Clair bowler came back to her best form when she beat Sue Hodges (Outram) 21-10 in the quarterfinals. Hodges had beaten Crawford in the open singles earlier in the season.
She led 15-0 at one stage before Hodges rallied.
"It played on my mind because Sue had come from behind to beat me in the open singles after a I held a big early lead," Crawford said.
Crawford also had a big early lead over former New Zealand fours champion Janet Swallow (Taieri) in the final.
She led 15-9 before Swallow came back strongly to close the gap to 17-13. The two shots to win the game demonstrated Crawford's class.
One bowl sat in front of the jack and the other one snuggled in immediately behind it. It was difficult for Swallow to remove the shot.
"Bowls is all about drawing shots," Crawford said.
"My drawing and weight control was spot on at the weekend," Crawford said.
Crawford has the chance to get another title in the champion of champions pairs with Daphne Hynes at the St Clair green tonight against Jacqui Peterson and Shirley Martin (Fairfield).
Crawford (nee Webster) has been playing outdoor bowls since 1982 but her interest in the sport started with small bowls as a 13-year old Queen's High School pupil in 1974.
She has won 15 titles in the indoor game. Indoor bowls was the favorite game of her parents, Pearl and Harley Webster, and the family joined them in the sport.
"Bowls is in the blood," Crawford said.
"It's a good social game, and you meet a lot of nice people."
Pearl Webster, her mother, has won six Otago Indoor Bowls titles.
Her brothers have also been successful in the small bowl indoor game with Harley and Raymond playing for New Zealand. Crawford's first major success in the outdoor game came when she won four centre titles in the 1989-90 season.
Ross Brown (St Clair) was on the verge of representing New Zealand 20 years ago when he took a long break from the game because of a painful back. He tried to come back a decade ago but found that he still lacked the passion that had catapulted him into the national spotlight in the late 1980s.
Brown has been back on the green over the past six years and has quickly returned to the form that made him such a formidable opponent.
He proved it at the weekend when he beat Robbie Thomson (Fairfield) 21-14 in the men's champion of champions singles to win his 12th Bowls Dunedin title.
