TWO finals played out at Wanderers Bowling Club on Saturday.
In the finals of the men’s nominated pairs, the Funnell brothers Roy and Graham, took on and beat Richard Hendicott and Wonke Zandile 24-15 to take that title.
In the finals of the women’s drawn trips, Lorinne Hawkins, Gwen Tait and Barbara Neill beat Lorraine Du Preez, Louisa McGlynn and Chantal Hearnshaw 23-16 to take that title.
Six matches were played in the opening salvo of the men’s drawn pairs with the following results: Chris Klopper and Bob Hayward had to play an extra end in their game against Steve van Rooyen and Dave Matthews to win 25-22, Kim Hawkins and Derek Stevens beat Robin Grobler and Neville ‘Titch’ Phillips 20-17, Ken Thomas and Mike Freeman beat Dennis Gericke and Johan Nel 21-7, Lofty Cawthorne and Errol Pienaar narrowly beat Jimmy Neill and Pat McGlynn 22-21, Terrance McGlynn and Brian Deats beat Peter Prenger and Phil Pieterse 21-20 and Arnie Harper and Russell Shepherd beat Greg McGuinness and Jeff Bolt 31-7 with ends to spare.
On Sunday the breakfast trips fielded a good turnout in scorching heat.
Chris Klopper, Eric Swanson and Russell Shepherd won the first session with 2+15. Chris and Eric were also winners in the R5 board draw – Chris winning the beef roast and Eric winning R50. A good day at the office. Other board draw winners were Stix De Wet (pork chops) and Gwen Tait (R50). Second session went to the Bauristhene family of Charles, Nicola and Keegan with a 2+10, Ernie Lochner, Hennie Geldenhuys and Dave Lloyd took the sportsman’s prize with 0-18. The Hawkins family comprising Kim, Lorinne and Nigel were overall runners-up with 4+16. Overall winners were Clive Symons, Mike and Jackie Freeman with 4+24. Members and players enjoyed live music in the bar after the match, and a delicious luncheon was served to those who paid the nominal price.
