The second day of competition at the Six Nations Bowling tournament was held at the Fendalton Bowling Club Christchurch and has provided some highs for the Blackjacks but also a couple of disappointing games that will leave some players wondering what
might have been.
Val Smith played the round one round singles match, despite a slow start she but found form mid-way through the game and held her opponent to a 19-19 draw. However she dropped a two and let the game slip away, 21-19.
Taking over the reins of the singles, Jo Edwards continued her consistent form, beating Colleen Picketh from South Africa 21-15. In the third round Jo Edwards was pitted against Australian Natasha Scott and had to fight all the way, on the 23rd end the score was tied at 19-19; and then used her get out of jail free card picking up two shots to take the game 21-19.
The men's triples skipped by Paul Girdler had a start in Round one against Wales racing out to 10 nil after seven ends. Wales fought back but New Zealand took the game 17-13.
In the Second round the men's triples had a slow start against South Africa, losing five
shots in the first three ends before they put their foot down and went on to win 11 of the next 15 ends to secure the game 17-11.
