THE NZ NATIONAL CLUB PAIRS

Congratulations to Phillip Skoglund and Cameron Nairne on winning the Centre Final of the NZ National Club Pairs at Palmerston North on Sunday. Well done and good luck for your next challenge.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLES

The triples were completed on Saturday. There were some very good bowls played by all teams in pretty good playing conditions.

Well done to both winning teams and good luck in the Champion of Champions later in the season.

The Winners of the Men’s Triples was Craig Gush’s Team of Craig, Doug Hayward and Derek McKee.

Winners of the Ladies Triples was Sue Meyer’s Team of Sharon Sims, Sue Meyer and Anne Corlett.

(A toucher in the ditch and another close drawn shot was a good start on the first end only having to be replayed due to the competition stipulating 2 bowls and 3 were being played.)

Unfortunately, due to yours truly forgetting to snap the winners at the time, Anne had left the building by the time I twigged to the lack of the winners picture. I have tried to make up for this omission in the picture below! My apologies to Anne.

Winners of the Ladies Triples was Sue Meyer’s Team of Sharon Sims, Sue Meyer and Anne Corlett.

The Ladies Club Champ singles commenced on Sunday. The  second round is scheduled for the 28^th of January 2012.

Update 5^th December 2011

TE RAKI CUP

The Te Raki Cup is once again home safely in the Trophy Cabinet after its brief visit to Takaro. Northern defeated Takaro 4 to 1 in the challenge last Thursday at Northern to win it back.

I understand that the two clubs are in negotiations to have an even bigger, better, brighter competition for the Cup later in the season. It is proposed that this challenge will be on the carpet at Takaro and will be over several rounds unlike the single round, twilight competition just completed.

It should be a great day and something to look forward to towards the end of the season.

The Te Raki Cup.
