BOWLING
Cooper's Beach Bowling Club
The lasting impression Chips Wildbore made among the local bowling fraternity was fondly remembered and honoured by everyone of the 66 players in the 22 teams which came from Kerikeri, Hokianga, Far North RSA, Opononi, Oruru, Houhora, Kaikohe, and the host bowling clubs to contest the Chips Wildbore Memorial at Cooper's Beach last Tuesday.
Club president Ron Payne welcomed everyone to the Top Roofer open mixed triples tournament, read out the apologies received and wished all players a good day before calling on centre president Margaret Walters to say a few words and a prayer.
Conditions of play were four games of 1 hour 15 minutes, and the results were, Ron Clark, Kevin Williams, Rebekah Papera (Kerikeri) 4 wins, 59 points, 26 ends, 1; Quin Turton, Don Johansen, Paula DuPlooy (Keri) 3, 34, 20, 2; Paul Vegar, Monte Pawa jnr, Margaret Wildbore (Keri/ RSA/ Coop) 3, 56, 23, 3; Dave Roughton, Adele Gardner, Pam Roughton (Coop/ RSA) 3, 49, 21, 4.
