Pairs competition draws 32 teams

 

The Ettalong Memorial Open Men's Pairs resumed on March 12, with 32 teams attending Ettalong's bowling greens.

Coast Bowls News publicity officer Mr Bob Penson said the day-long event saw teams play three games, each on a different green.

"After lunch, some strong two-game winners tumbled," Mr Penson said.

"Only seven teams made it through to grab the three wins needed to figure in a chance for the prize money and glory.

"The composite team of Col Wetton (Gosford) and Ray Bracken (Avoca) with three wins +30 finished ahead of local heroes Mark Knowles and Tony Leslie (Ettalong) three wins +28.

"With bowlers of the calibre of Bruce Jewell, John Roberts, Terry Clark and Lindsay Adamson biting the dust at various stages, the strength of the combatants could not be doubted."

Mr Penson said the event would be held again in May.
