Sandy O’Donoghue and Sandy Davis were runners-up, scoring 4+16 behind overall winners Rose Daniel and visitor Rita Browne on 4+22.
Linda Stead pulled rank and was very explicit in ensuring the women played both their sessions on the cooler top green, after playing on the lower green in the previous competition. Well done madam secretary!
The low score of 2+4 was enough for Peter Woolcock and Steve Stead to win the men’s second session prize.
The evergreen Geoff Donaldson and Chris Adendorff, on 4+6, were runners-up behind the AMBC pair of Mike Davis and Fred Hutchins, who scored a commendable 4+17.
Thanks to our main sponsor of the day, The Bell and Anchor and to the Pennington Superette and Illovo Sugar who also sponsored prizes for both the above sections.
Ian Adam, Sandy O’Donoghue, Jenny Wadeley, Pam Lyon and Sue Padgett were kind enough to supply the most enjoyable tea time snacks.

The brace worked and Mike is well on the mend.

Sezela Bowling Club welcomed experienced bowlers Steve and Sue Padgett as full members.
The fun loving couple have blended in extremely well on the bowling green and socially. We wish them a long and happy stay.
