Once again an oversubscribed field, so one entry not accepted and two teams balloted out.
Eighteen teams played four games of two bowl triples, enjoying what may be the last of the nice calm, relatively warm autumn weather we have experienced this month, the dew on the green providing some welcome guidance in the first game.
A different allocation of prizes, allocated according to the sheet in the tournament organiser’s manual, for the allocation of prizes for winter events (version 8!)
There were three four winners but only first and second prizes. The unlucky four winner was the team of Russell Parkinson, Annie McGrath and Sheryl Wellington who had 27 ends.
First place – Steve Hoeft, Evan Thomas and Wyn Graye, with 32 ends.
Second place – David Lloydd, John Lindsay and Bill Lowe, with 30 ends.
Then there were prizes for the best winner in each of the four games:
First game was Russell Parkinson, Annie McGrath and Sheryl Wellington with 8 ends and 19 points for.
Second game was Lindsay Gilmore, Colin Rogan and Bruce McClintock with 8 ends and 17 points for.
Third game was Arthur Beale, Murray Radojkovich and Brian Rogers with 9 ends and 17 points for.
Fourth game was Tony James, George Jones and Steve McGregor with 8 ends.
Lucky dip went to Alan Daniels, Kevin Robertson and Joy Watkinson.
Thanks to those who helped in the many ways that are required to make the day successful and enjoyable for everyone. Special thanks to Phil for preparing the green.
Good luck to Elaine and Leon in the BNH Champ of Champs 2-4-2 this weekend.
