THE Final of the Club Mixed Pairs was played on Sunday 27 September on our No. 2 green with a cool southerly wind prevailing.

The game was fairly even and at the 17th end the team of Supak Delaney and Dick Hadley (Skip) held a slight advantage over the combination of Judy and Paul Taylor, leading by 16-13 shots.

However in the last 4 ends Judy and Paul could not improve on their score of 13 (the Devil’s number) and Supak and Dick closed out the match winning by 24-13 shots.

The bowls were of a high standard and this was acknowledged by the big crowd of spectators at games end.

Although losing on the day Judy and Paul had defeated some more fancied opponents on the way to the Final.

In the Semi Finals played the previous day, Dick had defeated the team of Chris and Steve Brown 26-15 shots and Paul defeated the combination of Sue Dee and Dave Phillips 20-17 shots.

There will be no bowls played on the long week end, the Handicap Pairs will commence on Saturday 10th October.

Players are asked to check notice board for draw. Jack High PO.
