A great day of bowls

Te Kūiti Bowling Club presented their greens in great order for their inaugural tournament for 2024. Twelve outside teams participated from six clubs, coming from as far afield as Hamilton.

The day produced some excellent bowls with eight of the 20 teams present achieving three wins or better.

There was only one four-winner, followed by four teams with three wins and a draw each.

These were separated by ends won, which left two Kihikihi teams outside of the money.

First place, the only four winner, went to a Pirongia team skipped by Henry Te Moni and ably supported by Denise and Dean Te Mono.

Second place was also secured by a Pirongia team, skipped by Mark Arrandale with Dean and Sharon Chandler in support. These two are relative newcomers to bowls and have a great future in front of them.

Third place went to the Piopio trio of Wendy Weinberg (skip), Michelle Tapara and Lyn Te Kanawa.

Te Kūiti’s next tournament is Sunday, March 10, not to be missed.
