Congratulations go to Liz Byrne, Jan McPhee and Marja Iffland of the Parkes Bowling and Sports club. They are the new District Triples champs after a close final beating Orange Ex-Services 24 – 17 last week.
The stadium was filling as 12 social bowlers headed out on Tuesday in Parkes. We kicked off with a spider, and it was Marja’s lucky pink bowl that held its line!
Had we allowed for extra time, Heather Harvey and Liz Byrne, playing against Jan McPhee and Marja Iffland, would have decided their drawn match with a golden point on Field 2.
On Field 3, Merilyn Rodgers and Maureen Miller took advantage of open space to score 2 points more than their rivals, Carol Reed and Brenda Davies.
Fresh from her winter spell, Laurie Keane was keen to win, teaming up with Lea Orr on Field 4. They enjoyed some lucky breaks and won by 3 points against Rosemary Mitchell and Lorraine Baker.
After 9 ends, the whistle blew for the second half and many players were called upon to change positions on the field.
With full back, Brenda now in No 1 guernsey, Team Davies proved too strong for their rivals! Dependable Liz B took over the centre position and led her new team to victory! As Lorraine moved onto the left wing, she finished with a quick run down the line to score the winning point for Team Baker!
