Last weekend we had the Bowls North Harbour Centre triples with The Grove Orewa Women and the Dick Bree Memorial Men being held.

The weather was kind, warm and not too much wind.

The women were playing at Browns Bay on Saturday with the finals at Takapuna on Sunday.

We had four teams entered out a total of sixteen.

Our teams were:
Elaine McClintock. Judi Farkash and Kerin Roberts.
Joy Watkinson, Julie Chhour and Theresa Rogers.
Jo Baxter, Glenda Rountree and Lorna Donald.
Sheryl Wellington, Jan Gledhill and Colleen Rice.

Elaine’s team won all three section games to qualify for the finals.
Joy’s team had one win and finished second in their section on differential.
Jo’s team also had one win and finished third in their section.
Sheryl’s team also had one win and finished third in their section.

In the semi-final, Elaine’s team lost to Maureen Howden, Jan Harrison and Irene Donaldson from Manly 20-13.  The final was won by Lisa Dickson, Millie Nathan and Lauren Mills from Birkenhead 20-15.

In the men, we had two teams entered.
David Payne, Bruce McClintock and Phill Chisholm playing at Birkenhead.
Leon Wech, Alan Telford and Wayne Glogoski playing at Milford.

 David’s team had two wins and finished second in their section missing the top spot on differential.  Wayne’s team unfortunately lost all three games and failed to qualify.
