Post section play at the Heartland Bank National Bowls Championships in Taranaki is littered with Whanganui names.

Ray Park (Wanganui), Peter Belliss and Phil Corney (both Aramoho) have qualified in the men's singles, while Aramoho's Reen Stratford is in the women's singles post section. Rain washed out men's singles play yesterday.

Belliss also skips a composite team with Lance Tasker (Tauranga) in the men's pairs. Also in the men's pairs are Phil Carey and Dave Wicky (Aramoho), Wanganui's Les Murcott and Mike Connell, Ray Park and Alan Dickson (Wanganui), and Phil Corney and Gavin Scrivener (Aramoho).

The women's pairs, which began indoors yesterday, was littered with River City names including Ann Loveridge and Marilyn Constantine (composite), Dianne Patterson and Robyn Rintoul (composite) and Reen Stratford and Linda Ralph (composite).

The men's fours includes a composite team skipped by Peter Belliss featuring out-of-town players, the Phil Corney-skipped team featuring fellow Aramoho players Gavin Scrivener and Dave Wicky alongb with Kevin Burney from Wanganui Ray Park's foursome featuring two out-of-towners and Wanganui team mate Alan Dickson.

Denise Taylor, Dot Belliss, Glenis Pidwell and Pam Burgess make up an all River City composite team qualified for the women's fours.

Events manager Helen Stallard said rain yesterday had stalled, but not halted proceedings.

"The post section women's pairs are being played but there are only five rinks indoor, so progress is slow. The men's singles is a complete washout and will now be played on Friday," Stallard said yesterday.

"The men's pair and women's singles will be played tomorrow (Wednesday) and the fours will be played on Thursday. Saturday has been set aside to finish the ash-up of outstanding games and Sunday is finals day."
