Pennant bowls starts for men

 

Men's bowls pennant competition for 2002 has commenced at the Everglades Bowling Club.

Grades 2, 3,and 7 are with the leaders and grade 5 have been unluckily beaten by close margins on two occasions.

The final of last year's novice singles was played last week, this delay was caused by Terry O'Rouke having heart bypass surgery.

After a fine display by both players, Dean Packer proved too strong and ran out a solid winner.

The final of the club fours championship was played on the same day when Ray Mason, Brian Crawley, Frank Pengelly and Barry O'Connor played Paul King, Peter Harrison, Mike Tillott and Bill Ross (the golfers).

In an engrossing game, the golfers led most of the way but with three ends to go the teams were level at 19 all.

With the crowd on their toes, the golfers dropped two and three to let Barry O'Connor's team sneak through to gain a hard-fought win.

Easter sees tournaments arranged for three out of the four days.

Anyone wishing to compete should ring Bary O'Connor on 4342 1442, Gwen Hewson on 4344 6474 or any member of the tournament committee at the club on 4341 1866.

Everglades bowls major tournament, the Frank Kemp Triples, will be played the first week in July.

Entry forms will be available in the near future.
