Lawn Bowls

The 2021 Sin­gles championships:

The week­end saw many great bowls and close games. Two games that stood out ear­ly in the day were Mignon get­ting the bet­ter of Jill who was going for back-to-back titles and a tight­ly fought game between Keiran & Pop­eye with the lat­ter get­ting over the line 22 – 20.

R1

Due to num­bers, ​“BYE’s” were promi­nent so most play­ers advanced to R2.

Rd 2 win­ners were:

Kather­ine def Sharon

Wendy def Linda

Margie def Vicki

Mignon def Jill

Dave def Tony

Pop­eye def Jason

Char­lie def Bryan

Bruce def Josh

PRE­LIM FINALS

The Men’s Pre­lim saw Pop­eye and Bruce advance to the final with wins over Dave and Char­lie respectively. 

The Ladies’ draw saw Mignon and Margie advance with wins over Kather­ine and Wendy respectively.

FINAL

The Ladies’ final saw Margie take an ear­ly lead which Mignon just could­n’t reel back and Margie tak­ing her first Sin­gles title with a con­vinc­ing win.

The Men’s final was played ear­ly on Sun­day morn­ing and both Bruce and Pop­eye brought their A game. It was a bat­tle from start to end and with the board show­ing Bruce up 20 – 18, Pop­eye put 3 with­in 6inchs of the kit­ty which would snatch the win but Bruce trailed the kit­ty to his own back bowl to claim anoth­er Sin­gles title.

With their wins, both Margie and Bruce have earned a trip to Dar­win to play in the NT Cham­pi­on of Cham­pi­ons event. We wish them the very best.

On a final note, thank you to Al, Mandy and those bowlers who didn’t advance who gave up their time to assist in mark­ing sev­er­al games and help­ing out where they could.
