The men and women Champ of Champ fours were held over the weekend.
The men were at Helensville and the women at Waimauku with the finals at
Orewa on Sunday.

Our teams were:

Leon Wech, Stuart Jamieson, Bill Lowe and Tony Popplewell.

Sheryl Wellington, Jan Gledhill, Colleen Rice and Theresa Rogers.

The men were up against Sunnybrae in their first round, unfortunately they
came up short going down 12-16.

The men’s final was won by a strong Browns Bay team of Neil Fisher, Colin
Rogan, Matt Berry and John Walker defeating Warkworth 17-8.

The women played Mahurangi East in their first round and had a good win
23-13.

In the quarter-final, they had a strong win 21-6 against Milford.

They were up against a strong Millie Nathan skipped Birkenhead team in the
semi-final and they had a very convincing win 19-8.

In the final they were up against a very experienced Manly team.

This was a much closer game with our team just taking the win 16-14.

On the last end they were 3 up on the score board, but were 3 down on head,
Sheryl had the last bowl of the end, Jan had a close bowl that just needed
to be knocked forward to cut the number down, Sheryl played the shot
perfectly and achieved that, so then they were only one down and therefore
won the game by 2 shots.

This win now gives Colleen her Gold star. Well done Colleen.

Congratulations to Sheryl, Jan, Colleen and Theresa who now go on the
National Champ of Champs, being held in Hastings from 31st July to the 2nd
August.
