Fitzherbert Rowe Men’s Open Pairs

This event was held last Sunday the 25^th September 11 in fine but windy conditions.

It was good to see a number of members from other clubs attend this tournament with a total of 28 teams  competing.

Four games were played over the day with teams changing greens after two rounds.

Overall winner was Neil Gordon and Keith Hughes with 4 wins.

Second place went to Barry Wynks and Eion MacIntosh.

Both these teams won  4 games and had the same number of ends and only 1 point separated them in points scored.

Third Ben Hamilton and Harold Bailey.

Fourth Graham Cooley and Derek McKee.

Afternoon consolation winner was Peter Dellarbarca and Kevin Bryan.

In House Drawn Triples  Saturday 24^th Sept 11

We had 20 players  for this roll up but because of the numbers  3 games of pairs  were played and the overall winners were Harold Bailey and Ramon Thornton.

In House Drawn Triples Saturday 1^st Oct 11

30 players attended this roll up in very warm conditions and due to the numbers triples were

 played. (Swap around like last week)

Winners were Anne Corlett, Marian Anderson and Elaine McQuarters.

2^nd Des Meyer, Julianne Mills and Harry Moutan.

Can I ask that all club members help with putting away boards and other equipment after play.

We have a few members that just disappear into the clubrooms straight after play.

Also if you have any bowls results email them to John Hayes on johnhayes11@gmail.com and he will add them to the blog. This does not have to be done by a committee member.

Has someone got the results of the men’s and women’s pairs in Paraparaumu that I have heard some of our club members did well  in.

Next weekend we have Club Champs Men’s Intermediate Fours and Ladies only tournaments on Saturday and Sunday.

Don’t forget to put your names on the sheets in the notice Board for the many upcoming events.
