Yesterday saw the final day of the Horowhenua Fives; not the usual set-up for this competition but a chance for players to enjoy bowling before the winning club received the competition Trophy.
Each club sent two teams of Fours to play 2 one hour ten minute games. A further challenge took place in the second game – the Skip and Lead changed positions and the two and three did likewise. Fun and a challenge game. Results weren’t important and once afternoon tea was served, the announcement was made of the winners of the Horowhenua Fives – Levin RSA. Another popular competition that took place throughout the season.
