TUESDAY 19 April: The final of the Open Consistency Competition, Maynie Roberts v Lorraine Murphy.

This was a great final to watch, 29 ends bowled, that is 116 bowls delivered by each competitor before a result was achieved.

Maynie started strongly and continued to dominate this event, by the 6th she had a lead of 18 shots (39 v 21) and basically managed to stay in front by about 22 shots most of the game despite great bowling by Lorraine.

On what was to be the last end Maynie sealed her victory by gaining 9 points, winning 158 v 132.

Congratulations to both ladies on reaching the Final and a special “pat on the back” to Maynie as this is the 11th time she has won this Competition.
