So much to watch today – Margaret, Alice, Marie, Trevor and Coral gave their attention for a time to the Xmas Parade that passed the club during the afternoon while the Pair’s Finals were being played. Today’s main feature was the post section games to find the Men’s and Women’s Pairs winners. Five teams had qualified in each section, so …

It was just a pity that so few teams took advantage of a lovely day to play in the Gala. Fred Adam’s team played great bowls against the first three games but Rex Spicer’s trio came to light in the last game to beat them. Still, three wins was enough for Fred, Coral and Omeka to take out the prize. …

Today’s round of the Horowhenua 5’s was played at Central Levin and our team played the Shannon Club.

My opponent was Lynette from Shannon, the sister of our new club member …

Two greens in action today, playing the Hammond Memorial Mixed Triples Gala, sponsored by Margaret Griffin, the daughter of the late Selby and Jean Hammond.

The men’s games were played on the cotula green and the women on the new Dales green. Some very good bowls were played throughout the day, the leads as usual in Pairs, playing an important role …

It has been an interesting week. On Tuesday we had a full green for the roll-up and it was GREAT to play on a green that was true and the bowls were running at a good speed.  All who played on it commented on how great the cotula green was, so, thanks to all involved with getting it running to …

Great news, David Walker won his semifinal match against Central’s Bruce Shand and went on to have a big win in the final against Paraparaumu’s Robin Minoch. Congratulations from the club, David. David Walker Winner, KCBC Singles

KCBC Men’s Singles continued today with Day 2 being played at Paraparaumu Beach Bowling Club. One never knows how a game will go and after beating Brian Radich yesterday, Neville Turnbull drew him in the first round of Post Section today.
