The Warkworth Bowling Club was in full swing last Wednesday, with players from Warkworth, Orewa, Omaha and Mahurangi East tempting the rain in overcast conditions.
The Standard Open Triples tournament saw 48 players stretching their legs and their skills, with the club starting to catch up on three month’s worth of tournaments lost through Covid disruptions.
Tournaments chair John Hurdley says players have been undeterred by the pandemic and they are pleased that only one sponsor has pulled out.
“We’ve had a full green every time we’ve played,” he says.
Normally, playing two tournaments a month, the club is now in catch-up mode with an extra tournament planned this month.
“There is no hurry and though it may take some time, we expect to get all of the missed tournaments played over time.”
