Bowler Wayne Wrack won his 30th regional title when his Maungaturoto team beat Hikurangi in a closely-fought Centre Open Fours final.
Last weekend saw us complete the Centre Open Fours, and it is congratulations to Maungaturoto on winning the men's event when they defeated Hikurangi in the final, 12-11.
It was 11-all on the last end and we saw some great bowls played by both teams. The young Hikurangi combination, with
two second-year bowlers upfront, put their heart and soul into the match and held their own against the far more experienced side from Maungaturoto.
It was a 10th title win for Kevin Robinson and the 30th for Wayne Wrack, while it was the first for Eric Korori and John Carruthers.
The Hikurangi team was made up of Don Cameron (Skip), Ceri John, James Scrivener & Alan Goodhue.
In the women's section it was well done to Patricia Murray (title 14), Judy McKenzie, Ellie Van Haaften and Sue Rokstad. This weekend we will see the Centre Open Triples for men and women playing at Mangawhai and Waipū. The post section will be at Mangawhai on Sunday. Eighteen teams entered in the men and 12 in the women.
