Husband and wife Rob and Maureen Hicklin will recall their sporting highlights as well as family gatherings when they head back to England.
They come to Gisborne for a few months each year to spend time with family.
On this trip they joined with skip Les Whittington to win PovertyBay Bowling Club’s junior optional championship triples. Rob was director and Maureen was lead.
Runners-up were Jean Patterson (s), Jenny Amor (d) and Joan Gledhill (l).
Players and spectators enjoyed the new format of two sets of five ends with a one-end tiebreaker, if needed.
Both teams won a game, which meant a third game had to be played.
Competition was close, and two games required a tiebreaker. In the third game the teams were neck and neck before Whittington’s team secured the winning shot.
