There were 8 qualifiers and the beaten semi-finalists were Irene Topliss (Olympic) and John Rayner from the Oratia Club. Of note the Oratia Club is 1 of the smaller clubs within the Centre.

The lowering of entry fee for the Juniors has made a definite impact with quite a few teams bringing on some of our up and coming talent.

JUNIOR CHAMPION DEFENDS TITLE, but A LOT OF PROMISE FROM THE BEATEN BRIGADE

Teri Anderson from the Te Atatu Club was in a rich vein of form in beating Petero Aneterea comfortably in the Final.

There were 8 entries and the only other qualifier was Zac Smith. However all the juniors deserve a mention as the standard of bowls was very good.

Daniel Psaila, Anthony Atiau Jnr., Tuarei Aneterea, Davey and Nelic Korua showed lots of promise and it was just their lack of experience which cost them.

A big thank you to Rosemary Stephenson who Umpired and the parents and supporters who came along.

  LADIES and MENS’ FOURS CHAMPIONS DECIDED

The Western Hall was abuzz with 31 teams (16 men and 15 women) last weekend. David Lloyd and Greg Baxter were the Umpires with Jackie Kinnaird Hall Controller.

The winners were Jean Ramaekers, Elva Pinchen, Pat Shaw and Vivienne Richmond from the Glendene Club who beat defending champions Carol Wright, Pamela Cohen, Irene Topliss and Rosemary Stephenson from Olympic (14-5).

The winners came out running and never took the pedal off the metal!

The Men’s Final was a complete contrast with the lead changing from team to team. It was all square playing the Last End. With his last bowl Rodney Mills killed it and the extra end saw Gavin Eccles hold on to a 3 shot advantage.

His team was Colin Taylor, Patrick Morrison and Bruce Porter and they play out of the Te Atatu Club.Of note this is Porters 1st Tournament outside of regular Club play. Mills' support crew were Noel Loudon, George Paice and Colin Adams.
