Around the Greens - Club bowls news

Kahutia's mixed pairs champions are Glenys Whiteman and Murray Duncan

THE four clubs were well represented when 42 players competed in the McInnes Driver Training Ltd Single Entry Tournament on Sunday.

The popular Bowls 3/5 format was played with one power play a game.

Bowlers were pleased to have sunshade shelter at both ends of the green as the temperature rose to 32 degrees and much hydration was needed.

Sponsors John and Shona McInnes were present to watch the final round of bowls and enjoyed the clubhouse comradeship before presenting the prize list.

Winners were Murray Owen (skip), Geoff Pinn and Alf Land (lead).

Gary Tocker (s), Noel Dunn and Marie Thomas were second; Peter Gregory (s), Allan Parker and Don Oates third; and Ray Taylor (s), Joy Davis and Dianne Oates fourth.

There were two lucky draws from the non-winners.

KAHUTIA'S Championship Mixed Pairs final was the first official competition of 2020 and was played on a windy, cold January 4 Saturday.

Murray Duncan and Glenys Whiteman had a convincing 22-8 win over Willy Murray and Alicia Ruru.
