RESULTS OF MENS’ CENTRE OPEN TRIPLES : Eighteen teams took part in this Centre event and at the completion of qualifying on Saturday we had seven teams with the required number of wins to go forward to day two. The team from Mangawhai of David Frame, Paul Freeman and Neville Franks got the bye and in round one of post section Tim Apaapa, John Jamieson & Bill Harris (Kensington) defeated Darren Mitchell, Charlie Shepherd and Paul Mullane (Whangarei) 14-10; Mike Butler, Trevor Johnston & Kevin Sidwell (Whangarei) defeated Gordon Bond, Dean McMurchy & Ian McMurchy (Kensington) 14-8; David Eades, Kevin Robinson, Wayne Wrack (Maungaturoto) defeated Larry Vallance, Clive Claridge, Lauri Reader(Whangarei) 12-8.
The semi finals saw Eades defeat Butler 18-14; Frame defeat Apaapa 19-7. The final over 18 ends between Eades and Frame started with a scoring of one per end for the first seven ends, Frame took the lead on the 11th end by scoring a two. They then dropped four shots on the 12th end when Frame missed with two runs at the head to try and pick up the jack to score point at the back. This gave the Eades triple a three shot lead that they then never relinquished. There was some outstanding shots by both skips during this match with Eades being particularly accurate to keep his team in the match and several ends. The final score was 14-10 to the Eades combination and another Centre title for Robinson and Wrack and a first Centre title for Eades.
RESULTS OF WOMENS’ CENTRE OPEN FOURS: While the men competed in the Triples the women were seeking a Centre title in the Open Fours. Fifteen teams took part in the event on Saturday and seven teams won their way through to post section play on Sunday at the Waipu greens.
The Maureen Parker,Pam Brewster, Noline Lewin, Diane Strawbridge (Kensington) combination had the first round bye, with Pam Arbon, Chris Crawford, Pat Reader, & Linda Brockbank (Kensington) defeating Maree Attwood, Lauren Mills, Pat Warth, Caroline Downs (Kensington) 15-7; Diana Catton, Madeline Yovich, Glenda Norris-Palmer, Carol Neeley (Kamo ) defeating Anne Bateman, Manu Timoti, Sarah Wright, Betty Mitchell (Hikurangi) 19-12; Karen Horscroft, Jude Ganley, Amy Little, Chris Budge (Kensington) defeating Sue Wightman, Carol Henwood, Jan Hollingsworth, Mon Guttenbeil (Mangawhai) 14-11. In the semin finals Parker defeated Arbon 13-10; and Horscroft defeated Catton 15-10.
The final between the Parker and Horscroft combinations ending up being a one side affair with the ‘holes being bigger than the bowl’ on many occasions for Horscroft and some outstanding drawing from the lead and and two for Parker. The final was conceded to the Parker combination after twelve ends with the score at 18-4.
This win gave Pam Brewster and Diane Strawbridge their centre gold stars.
Once again the conditions were not ideal for bowls with our windy spring continuing to play havoc on the fast greens.
