WINNERS: Brian Cavey, Shirley Crabtree and Shirley Young won the open mixed triples at the Far North RSA last week.

WINNERS: Brian Cavey, Shirley Crabtree and Shirley Young won the open mixed triples at the Far North RSA last week.

Fine but windy conditions dominated when the Far North RSA Bowling Club completed an open mixed triples event at the end of March.

Teams from Cooper's Beach, Church Road and the host club members contested the annual Spanhake Engineering tournament, where some bowlers were challenged by a wind which strengthened later in the day.

After four completed games, president Ian Macnee thanked the generous sponsorship and all the members who helped to ensure the day was a success.

The top placegetters were, Brian Cavey, Shirley Crabtree and Shirley Young (RSA/ Church) 4 wins, 22 ends, 27 points 1; Pam and Jim Naylor with Clive Scahill (Cooper's ) 4, 20, 49, 2; Neil and Shirley Marr, Nancy Page (Cooper's) 3, 21, 45, 3; with the lucky draw won by Alan Dow, Linda Freeman and Alan Bright.

OTHER NEWS. The Far North RSA also recently completed a number of championships on its domestic programme for the 2015/16 season including the men's and women's junior pairs championship titles.

The men's title was won by John Proctor and Don Lilly over Stuart Moreau and Colin May; while the women's title was won by Joanne Milich and Helen Dephoff over Evelyn Bradley and Mary-Ann Proctor.

Organisers noted John Proctor, Joanne Milich and Helen Dephoff have now completed their J5 years and will be stepping up to play in the senior (open) section next season.

Alan Thom and Jill Phillips won the club's mixed pairs title, beating Toto Thompson and Val Jones by 19-18 in the final, being a measure for that point.

After day one in this event, six teams remained from the 16 entered: Thom/ Phillips, and Ian Macnee with Mavis Topia both holding two lives, and the Thompson/ Jones, Dennis Wishnowsky and Evelyn Bradley, Mel Isaac and Margaret Perry and Sonny Hokai and Lillian Wells combinations with one life each.

Upcoming fixtures at the Kaitaia club are on this Saturday (April 9) followed by the official closing day of the 2015/16 season on Saturday, April 23. Entries for either event can be given to Adele Gardner, phone 408-0638.
