This annual Centre event has been played over the last two days at the Central Levin Club. To be eligible, players must not have won an Open Centre event and teams must be mixed. After the first day, Susan Boxall (s), Murray Griffin and Margaret Griffin from our club, made it into the top section of 8 qualifiers. It was just great …

It seems that the key for some teams yesterday was to get a win by 1 point. In the first post sectoion round at Waikanae where the Men’s Open Centre Triples carried on, four games were played and three were won or lost (depending on your view point, by 1 point – two at 16-15 and the other at 18-17. …

Friday’s Horowhenua Chronicle had a full page about the new artificial green replacement that the RSA Bowling Club now has – well worth reading, not just for how it was installed but there is also  a section about how the original green was formed in 1947 on land donated by Mrs Lett. We wish the club well and it will …

We had a nearly full green for todays 2x4x2 club competition followed by the usual discussion over a drink. What took my fancy was the work T.J. our greenkeeper, has done in his garden behind the toolshed. Quite spectacular with so much growth.

The Women’s and Men’s Handicap Singles were won today by bowlers named Hayward – but they are not related. Joan joined the club this year, coming from Christchurch whereas Ken is our club President. Today’s games were a continuation of the Men’s and Women’s post section rounds and both finals were played on the Dales green. There was a strong …

Entering the last end of the game against Brian Howman, Dianne and Omeka held the lead, 12-11. Omeka sent up the Jack and then delivered his first bowl……and it stopped right in front of the Jack. A great opening shot. Not to be out done, Brian’s lead sent up her first bowl….and it gave Omeka’s shot a push away. Outstanding reply. …

It was Day 1 today with games being played on our cotula green, 2 greens at Central and 1 at Waikanae Beach. I was supposed to be playing but health kept me out and Murray Griffin filled in for me with Susan Boxall. They won two of their games at Waikanae Beach as did Dianne Short with Omeka. Our four …
