Despite the seemingly relentless poor weather, there were a lot of bowls played by members of the Stratford Avon Bowling Club last week.
Last Monday, Lindsay Franklin defeated Kevin Sullivan 21-16 in the delayed Men’s Junior Singles Championship semifinal. Then on Tuesday, Lindsay defeated Damian Hancock 21-10 in the final.
On Wednesday, the first round of Junior Bowls3five was played at Ōpunake with the team of Karen Bond, Cheryle Taylor, and Kevin Sullivan winning both games played. Graeme Kelly, Theressa Needham, and Brian Needham won one game out of two respectively.
On Thursday at the Hāwera Tower Optional Triples, the Rex Dyason, Dennis McEwen, and Irwin Van Pelt team came second on one green by differential, having won four out of four games. On the other green the team of John Sextus, Janet Ravji, and Norm Webby came third.
After such a great run with the weather over the last two years, frustratingly Friday night business house bowls had to be cancelled for the second week in a row.
