G & G MacKenzie Mixed pairs
20 teams played for the G & G MacKenzie Cups. The clouds parted and let the sun shine through. As the day went on the sun warmed up the players and jackets were taken off. Some great games were played. Several teams went into the last round with three wins. But eventually it was Des Meyer and Carol Davidson who were the victors.

Gwen provided the sausages and Barry and his merry helpers BBQed them. A great way to finish off a great day of bowls.

Thanks very Much to Gwen MacKenzie. A perfect day!

Sunday 21 September - Herbert Plate

For those who braved a second day of play it was a great day. With the wind playing havoc with the bowls there were still some great shots played. Lots of smiles and some great fun.
3 games of 2 bowl progressive triples were played.

Going into the last game 4 players were sitting in 1st place. The last game left only 2 players with two wins. Well done to Viv Lozell who just held off Harold Bailey by one end to win the Herbert plate.
