Ladies Senior fours
the semi final was between Viv's team and Feona's team. With the sun shining and very little wind it was a great day for a good tight tussle on the bowling green. Feona, Anna, Cinty and Julianne managed to edge ahead, keep their cool and win the game to play in the final against Sue M, Joan, Sue W and Melva. The final was started afte having lunch at the onther end of the green. The game was increadibly tight all the way through some good heads and the head always changing. On the last end it was anyones game with the score board showing 14 each. with the last bowl played the measure was extractd from the pocket to measure for the shot bowl. It was Sue M's bowl that had crept in for shot. Well done to Sue M team.

Mens Senior Singles
With all the byes got rid of in the first round everone was down to buisness. The final four being Colin Vs Terry and John P Vs Ray L. John and Rays game finished with Ray winning the tight game. Then it was time to wait for Colin and Terry's game to finish. The score was tight so with many ends it was a trip to the head to look at the position. in the end Terry won. the Final between Terry and Ray started at 5.30pm.
The game between Terry and Ray was very tight, played in near perfect conditions, till the score was 13 all, then Terry got ahead. The game was a great game to watch but few stayed late and watched till the final shot was played. Congratulations to Terry for winning the game. Thanks to all those who entered, maybe next year will be your turn. Some fantastic games were played and many could hae gone either way.

Bulls Christmas Hams
Scruff, Peter D, Lynlea and Chris ventured over to Bulls for their Christmas Hams tournament. Playing on the renovated number 1 green for the first time was not an easy challenge. They managed 3wins and a Draw along with 3 other teams. They got third and came away with a ham each. Great work. Nice to see teams going out to the smaller clubs!

Interclub
A great day to be on the greens, sunshine, good company, it doesn't get much better.
Division 1 Men - 1st
Our men's team topped the division and had to play the final against Palmerston North. Stephen cleaned up fairly quickly in the singles playing steadily throughout. The pairs had a very close game on the 18th end they were 18 all. The Fours managed to edge ahead holding and good buffer of shots on the board. The fours went on to win and the Palmertson North pairs conceded as they couldn't beat Northern. Well Done Guys!
Division 1 Ladies - 1st
The A team took top honours with the B team just missing out on the final for 3rd. A fine effort girls. The A team had to go on to play Terrace End in the final. Feona didn't give up against Bev Budd but didn't manage to fend her off. The pairs and fours were well ahead and managed to keep going to both win their games comfortably. A fine effort! Well done.
Division 2 Men
Northern is one of 3 teams on 30 points but they are ahead on differential. The other two teams are Johnson Park and Takaro. There are two rounds to be played next weekend. They need all the Club support they can get so if you feel like watching bowls next weekend go down and cheer them on. They play at Palmerston North.
Division 2 Ladies
Northern picked up 5 of the 6 games today to edge ahead of Bulls. Northern are in top spot with two rounds to play. They hold 31 points with a diff of 97. Foxton & Beach and Bulls are close behind holding 28 points each, foxton +79, Bulls +56. The next 2 rounds will be played next Saturday at Terrace End. Again if you are not bowling it might be worth a trip to the bowling green of cheer on clubmates.
Division 3 Mens - 2nd
After topping the section convincingly they had to play a final against Terrace End. Unfortunately Terrace End won 2 out of the 3 games to win the division. Bad luck guys.
Division 4 Mens - 4th
Got 4th over all with Johnson Park winning this section.
Division 5 Men - 1st
The Northern team had to play off against Palmerston North. They won 2 out of the 3 games to win the division. Well done Martin, Bob, Dave C, Bill A, Paul, Keven M and Max. Not bad for a bunch of under 10yr players!
