Indoor Bowls Adjunct News
​
On Friday 1st March the Indoor Bowls adjunct played their first trophy event of the year, the Whangamata Real Estate Ivy Horne Fours.
​
Six teams competed with only two qualifying for post-section play, which made this a final.
The finalists were Alex Steel, Cynthia Colville, Bruce Rollo and Lynda Callaghan and John Hares, Ngaire Wallace, Max Hill and Erin Wyatt.
After a three-end final John’s team came out the winner.
Congratulations to all players.
The raffle was won by Patrick Cairns who joined us for the afternoon. We were also delighted to wish June Wilkinson a happy 94th birthday with her supplied birthday cake.
​
On Friday 8th March, eighteen members played four games of triples. Winners on the day were Peg Jones, Betty Wilmer, and Marilyn Steel with runners-up being John Hares, Ann Costar, and Lynda Callaghan. Unlucky players were Brian Wyatt, Max Hill and Laraine Osborne.
Alex Steel won the raffle.
​
On Saturday 9th March the Whangamata Real Estate Handicap Singles were played with 12 members competing. There were four qualifiers Ann Costar, Joy O’Sullivan, Marilyn Steel and Erin Wyatt (see photo below).
Marilyn and Joy had a close game with an extra end played to find the winner, with Joy just pipping Marilyn. Ann and Erin played in the second semi-final with Ann coming out the winner.
The final between Joy and Ann was a good game with Ann being crowned the winner.
Better luck next year chaps when you might be able to keep up with the ladies.
​
On Sunday 10th March, the Thames Valley Centre held its opening Progressive tournament. Twelve of our members took part with Erin Wyatt winning the Leads prize and Ann Costar the Seconds. Two players had four wins and the same number of ends so it all came down to points to find the overall winner. Ann being the overall winner on the day.
Congratulations to all of our winners.
​
On Sunday 17th March two of our teams competed in the Thames Valley Championship Fours tournament. The teams were Peg Jones, Ann Costar, Hazel Johnstone and Joy O’Sullivan and Alex Steel, Betty Wilmer, Marilyn Steel and Lynda Callaghan.
Both teams qualified for post section play and as there were only four teams that qualified this became the semi-finals. Both teams won their matches which made it a Whangamata Club final.
The final of nine ends was hard fought which saw Peg’s team come out the winner on the day.
