TUESDAY 28 March: The Final of the Tea Gardens Women’s Bowling Club Championship Triples was played and what a terrific Final it was – a “nail biter” right to the end.

By the third end Jeanette Emmett, Judi Polak and Dot Dallas had scored 4 shots with Jean Glover, Bette Saillard and Robyn Webster on 0.

By the seventh end Robyn’s team had a 4 shot lead at 8 v 4.

From here on both teams took turns at holding a narrow lead.

On the twelfth end the score was 12 all.

With just 1 end left to bowl and Robyn’s team in front by 1 shot (15 v 14), anyone could win.

On the 18th end Robyn’s team scored 2 shots, winning 17 v 14.

Congratulations to Jean, Bette and Robyn, the Club Triples Champions for 2023.

Great bowling by all competitors.

Results of social bowls as follows: A win to Loretta Baker, Christine Fossey and Pat Baker 17 v Chrissy Buddle, Ingrid Luck and Robyn Beaumont 13.

A 15 all draw for Dale Cameron, Maynie Roberts and Sandra Leisemann v Lorraine Murphy, Lyn Nightingale and Lynne Green.
