The annual Mexted Cup was played today at the Paekakariki Club. This event has a 4’s team selected by each club from their workers and it was the opportunity for our last year’s team which won the cup, Ken, Stafford, Murray and Trevor, to repeat their performance. I’m sure they had an enjoyable day but the cup has not returned, …

Some really outstanding performances from the bowlers in the last two rounds played today. The morning game between Hildi and Margaret was close all the way through and with the score at 20 all, the win was decided on the last bowl. Margaret was holding the shot and Hildi had one bowl left. Up it came and it looked good …

The Women’s Singles Championships got under way this morning, the challenge being to play three matches and to win at least two of them. This is no easy matter and after the first two rounds, Hildi was the only player who had won both of her games.  Her first was against Ra, who often represents the club in singles, and her …

A delayed start this morning for our annual Haggis Gala as a result of early morning rain. A later start at 10.00am meant that we played four games of 8 ends in on and off sunshine throughout the day. All games were played on the Dales green and we had a full green with teams from Palmerston North, Whitby, Manakau …

We had a good turnout yesterday for our progressive mini gala. We usually play triples but for one reason or another, we ended up playing fours. It is quite a fun afternoon and the cards we use to tell players what rink they will be on and with whom they will be playing does cause some odd team combination. I …

We had two Junior pairs teams playing today in the Kapiti Centre Junior 2x4x2 Pairs at the Waikanae Club. Bill and Vern won their first game but though the next two games were close, they missed out in qualifying for tomorrow’s Post Section rounds. Our other combination, Ken and Jan, won their first game, had a close game in the …

Men’s Aggregate Triples was again played this afternoon but because the cotula green had been sprayed, we played our games on the Dales green. It was a very hot afternoon and that we believe, was why players needed to give their bowls more weight than usual. I came out after afternoon tea and noted that all the bowls on Rink …

It was up early today and off to Paraparaumu Beach Bowling Club for the finals of this years Interclub.Our club had done well to have teams in the Men’s Super 7’s, the Reserve 7’s and our women had a team in the Women’s Reserve 7’s. We arrived and received the draw for the play and stared off with trial ends. …

Business House Bowls got started with 28 teams last night and after Brian had welcomed all the players, the games got going on both greens. Club members gave help to new ‘bowlers’, and past players got themselves loosened up for the start of the competition next week. Interesting to see last years winning team lost both of their warm up …

This Saturday will see three teams from our club playing in the KCBC Interclub final, held on the Paraparaumu Beach Bowling Club’s greens. It is a great challenge for our teams (See our teams on our website)  and we look forward to them doing their best and enjoying the day. Our President, Ken Hayward, has been in touch with many …
