From the bowling greens: Pairs games go down to the wire
News and results from South Coast bowling clubs.
KINGFISHER BOWLING ASSOCIATION
WIND and cold did nothing to hamper the nail-biting finish of the pairs finals held at Umtentweni Bowling Club last weekend.
Both games went down to the wire with The Bell’s Maureen Muller and Sandy van Niekerk narrowly beating Scottburgh’s Lynne James and Hilary Holmes in what was a hard-fought game for winner and runner-up positions.
Not to be outdone, Margate BC’s Franci Philpott and Yvonne Bausek secured their win with their last bowl to take third place from AMBC’s Liesje de Rosner and Maureen Lancaster.
The men’s final saw a commanding win from Margate BC’s Shane Nienaber and Ross Ferguson over Chummy Smith and John Gibson from Riverside.
Third place went to Banners Rest’s Peter Bennett and Ally Wier and fourth went to Luke Pohl and Kevin Mullen from The Bell.
Once again, the executive thanks all the venues which hosted the pairs, their hard working staff and willing volunteers, as well as our own competition secretaries and technical officials who make these tournaments so successful.
