Poverty Bay

KATHRYN Flaugere (skip) and Andrew Ball won Poverty Bay Bowling Club's open mixed pairs club championship over three evening meetings.

They were unbeaten in all five games they played, and defeated Jeff Davis (skip) and Joy Davis 19-10 in the final.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be played on October 10 and 11.

Bad weather meant it was postponed and eventually held in good conditions over three evenings, starting at 5.15pm and concluding under floodlights.

Fourteen pairs entered and the two-life system was used, with games of 15 ends or 90 minutes.

Some games were very close. In the fifth round the Davis pair defeated Erin Sutherland (s) and Dawson Owen 12-10.

In the sixth round, Flaugere (s) and Ball defeated BJ Seymour (s) and Lesley Seymour 13-12.
