Mahurangi East Bowling Club celebrated the opening of its new carpet green this month with a tournament that attracted 32 teams.
Thanks to the efforts of organiser Gary Gibson, teams of triples filled the two greens with players coming from as far north as Mangawhai and as far south as Blockhouse Bay in Auckland.
There was a generous spread of tea and nibbles thanks to sponsor the Oaks on Neville.
First place in the tournament went to H. Bailey, R. Ruddell and D. McGill of Mahurangi East and second place to M. Feek, T. Holdsworth and C. Maddren of Blockhouse Bay.
Meanwhile, the Oaks on Neville open fours tournament will be held at Bowls Warkworth on Saturday, April 4.
Tournaments chair John Hurdley says $4000 in cash prizes is expected to attract 30 teams from Helensville to Whangarei.
Bowls Warkworth also recently received a $4000 grant from the Mahu Community Trading post which it has used to update its equipment and tidy the grounds.
