The final of the Club Minor Pairs competition was played today in less than favourable conditions.

The forecast rain gave way to a brisk south-easterly virtually taking the narrow hand out of play.

However, the teams of Terry Munright and Phil Thrift and Chris Golledge and Rod Morrison gave it their best shot and the game developed into one of ‘nip and tuck’

With the match evenly poised Chris and Rod held a hard fought three with one end to play which was very neatly dispatched with a Terry Munright drive killing the end.

Chris and Rod held their nerve however and hung on for a 21-18 win.

It was a tough game, given the conditions going right down to the wire.

Both teams are to be congratulated on a great game of bowls.

Nominations are being called for the Club Championship Fours and hopefully this will attract a good field and as a guide to the form of many players contemplating the Pennant season next year.

The first round is scheduled for Saturday 16 Nov.
