Yesterday the Horowhenua Ladies Banner was played at our club. This is an annual competition with 2 teams from each club playing 4 games of 10 ends or 1¼hr time. I had intended to watch some of the play but the fine weather got me involved in my garden and I forgot all about it so I had to get …

In my option the Match Committee handicap ranking failures to deliver the general consensus at the AGM’s, that all players have an equal opportunity to win the handicap singles. Actually I would like to see the handicaps go even further and make it really difficult for our better single players making the final. I started the discussion in 2009 (see …

A different day altogether for playing the Men’s Handicap Singles Post- Section, sunny and hardly any wind – what a contrast to yesterday. Nine had qualified and play started with a game between Joe Wnek and Jim Bagnall, the later winning  21-13. The next round saw wins going to Ken Hayward, Rob Cotter, Omeka and Jim again, all with clear …

Saturday, 6 October 2012                      (Click photos to enlarge your view of them.)   We got underway at 9.00am this morning; it looked quite nice from inside the pavilion, but once outside, we faced a very strong and gusty wind which caused all players problems throughout the day.

Two teams to Foxton Beach Club and two to Shannon to play the first round in this season’s Rotary. The sun shone off and on and the cold wind was quite persistent and gusty, making accurate bowling quite difficult at times. The club did quite well, winning 3 of the 4 games at each club. A good start for this …

A sunny but windy day saw a good turnout to the roll-up at the club this afternoon. As well, three teams played at Central Levin in their monthly men’s gala, something we have supported for many years.  We each had some success e.g.. my team had 1 win out of the four games, Fred had 2 and Murray’s did best …

Yesterday, post section play in the Balloted Pairs started at 10am, two games in the Men’s and Women’s sections. Because I was playing, I was not able to watch other games, but scorecards give some indication on how things went. Christine and Joan surely went well in their match against Lodzia and Ginny, the final score at 18-4.  Bronwyn and …
