He nearly did it! Murray, in his last year as a Junior, played in the Junior Champion of Champion Singles on the Central Levin green and reached the semifinals. A very creditable effort and we congratulate him. At our club, ten teams took part in a 2x4x2 gala, played in fine weather and on our great cotula green. The results after …

Friday was the day when the Champion of the Women’s Fours was found. Dianne Short’s team had the morning bye so the other finalist had to be found between Susan Boxall’s and Ra Walker’s  teams. It was sad news to hear that Margaret Mackay, a player in Susan’s four had been taken to hospital so a replacement had to be …

Another great series of business House Bowls was completed last night bringing to an end another very successful programme. This was labelled as a ‘fun’ night (surely all the other nights had been the same!)with the emphasis in showing how skilful players had become with their handling of their bowls. Their ability to draw accurately was tested, with individuals having …

Our annual St Pat’s Gala was again held today and we thank Mitchpine for once again being  our Sponsor. It was another lovely day for bowls, the green was running really well and all who took part had no excuses for not playing good bowls. In her address to all the players at then end of the day’s play, Margaret …

So what do you understand is meant by the word ‘Reaction’??  A look in my dictionary says “A response to a stimulus or former action”.

(This was of course when the Levin clubs were part of the Manawatu Centre.) The event that we played in today was devised by Jack, hence the name. It was always a popular well contested event though …

Only 6 teams entered this year’s competition and by the end of the qualifying rounds on Saturday,three teams had made it through to post section. On paper, some teams looked much stronger that others but one never knows how things will go in the game of bowls. In Rnd 1 Christine Gardner’s team got off to a slow start against …

The last night of competition in Business House Bowls took place tonight to find the winners of both Divisions.  As expected some top bowls were played by teams in contention and the final winners will be announced next week. This year the weather has been just great and has added to the overall success of the evenings and from the …

The Horowhenua Cup was played for today by teams from the KCBC at the Waitarere Beach Club. I visited there to see how things were going, arriving just in time to see play starting in the last round. In contention at that stage were three teams, each with 3 wins –  Levin RSA, Raumati South and our club team. None …

Our ladies team which won the Interclub Reserve 7’s this season, went to Wanganui last Friday to stay the night so that they would be all ready for a fresh start on Saturday morning. The target was to win the Zone 4 regional play-off. Things didn’t turn out as hoped as they were rained out on Saturday, so spent the …
