Another edition of our unique “All the Pairs” fun tournament was held on Friday 27 December 2024.
Twelve teams turned up for the event and they were hit with very strong winds, which got worse as the day went on. Lots of hats and caps were seen flying through the air and the flags were taken down as a precaution.
Six different variations of pairs were played, each over 8 ends. With the different permutations to each game, the bowlers were continually challenged in addition to the wind factor.
1st Prize went to Stuart Jamieson and Irene Donaldson with 6 wins out of six.
2nd Prize went to Bruce McClintock and Walter Howden with 5 wins out of six. They lost their last game to Tony Trent and Lorna Donald 7-6 going for a sixth win.
3rd Prize went to Barry McCrystal and Rosemary Nicol with 4 wins out of six.
Two lucky dips went to Kevin Cameron and John Lindsay and Glenda Rountree and Louise Ball.
Two teams won the “thanks for coming” prize, Allan Langley and George Jones and Flora Macdonald and Joy Finney. They each won a bag of “pears”.
A big thank you to all the helpers during the day.
The next ALL THE PAIRS will be on Thursday 13th March.
We hope to introduce a new game of pairs, watch this space.
Get your entries in early.
