Yesterday the cotula green was under water, today not a trace. Just great how a green can recover from so much water. I don’t know if it was cut, but certainly it had been rolled before play and it didn’t take long for it to play well. Certainly the early wind caused some problems, but as the day wore on, …

Interclub last Sunday was not one of our best days with only two wins being recorded from all teams. Best not to dwell on the day other than to note how strange it was to hear that those teams playing south of Levin, did so in fine weather while we who were playing at Central Levin, faced another damp and …

Omeka Feaunati and Fred Adams Winners of the 2009-2010 Championship Pairs Saturday morning, a 10.00 o’clock start in spite of the gloomy weather, saw the start of today’s final of the men’s championship pairs, Fred Adams and Omeka Feaunati playing Noel McCutcheon and Brian Paquin. I can’t remember seeing such a large numbers of spectators turning up to watch a …

Eager to test their skill, our bowlers gathered to see if they could emulate the feat of Grace Virtue who, last week, won a bottle of Grant’s Whiskey in the first round of Corner to Corner. It was pleasing to see that Graeme and Sue Stevens, Grant’s representatives, were able to see how clever our bowler were and to present …

Both men and ladies teams played at Central Levin yesterday in fine conditions (a pleasant change) but the results unfortunately were not so good. Our women playing on green 2 lost all their games while the men’s teams had a win each. In the morning games, my team played as a team and proved themselves by winning 23-13 against the …

After an unimpressive start to the last qualifying rounds yesterday morning (those present will know what I am referring to), one more team qualified for post section play. The quarter final games, just like the day before, were played in windy conditions, making exact draw play difficult one would think. Certainly this was true for some but in my game …

Men’s Pairs 2009 The day started well with the sun shining and the green running very well. A pity that by the afternoon, the sky gave us a cold and gloomy picture of out summer game in action. Because there were thirteen teams entered in the event, three rounds of 21 ends were played by some teams in their effort …

Today saw the first round of competition in the Grant’s Whiskey Corner to Corner event. This was at the end of a busy day at the club which started at 9.30am with a 2x4x2 Gala, sponsored by Grimes and Browning. The cotula green ran extremely well and was enjoyed by a full field. At the end of play, Susan and …

At the end of yesterday’s play, five pairs had qualified and after the draw, Hazel and Coral were down to play Dianne Short (s) and Susan Boxall in the first round. A close finish saw Hazel and Coral go through the next round, after winning this game 22-20. Lodzia Wnek (s) and Grace Virtue faced Ann Malone(s) and Christine Ryan …

Eight men from the club took part in the KCBC Men’s singles today and by the end of the day’s play, half of them had qualified for post-section play at Paraparaumu Beach Bowling Club tomorrow. Congratulations and all the best for tomorrow, Murray Griffin, Brian Paquin, Grant Pratt and Ken Hayward. At our club, the first day of Women’s Pairs …
