Northland Bowls: Maungaturoto beat Hikurangi in tight Centre Open Fours game

09 Dec 04:00 PM

The final was played on her home patch and although the match was close until the 13th end, she won going away. Well done also to Diane Strawbridge of Kensington, who had another successful attempt at the national singles and pairs, qualifying also in the pairs with Karina Cooper.

In the men's national pairs, the winners were Andrew Kelly and Seamus Curtain of Wellington, who took out the event over the composite team of Gary Lawson and Tony Grantham. All players are well known in bowling circles, so the best came to the fore on this occasion.

The next national event is the national fours and mixed pairs for both men and women, with entries closing on February 1 and the events to be played in Taranaki from February 24 to March 3.

The Northland women's rep squad to meet the Far North, Auckland and Counties at Mangawhai have just been announced by the selector. This will be played on January 23. The squad is made up of Patricia Murray, Diane Strawbridge, Karina Cooper, Leanne Stewart, Sue Wightman, Wendy Sarjeant, Diane Klomp and Dawn Owens. Good luck to you all.

Next week sees players from Northland competing in the Taranaki Men's Open tournament, while close to home on Tuesday it's the Kamo Classic MX Fours.
