The end of the season proved a busy few weeks at the Leigh Bowling Club.
The final night of business house bowls on April 14 ended in a draw. Fading light prevented the final match from being finished, so the two top teams – KP Farms and King Tide Tattoo – were declared joint winners.
On the following day, April 15, 12 teams competed in the triples Life Members tournament.
Congratulations to the winning team of Stuart MacDonald, Neil Cruden and Staun Popham.
The final event for the season was the fours Invitational Tournament held last Saturday, April 22.
Meanwhile, the Kitty Hawke Club, which travels to various clubs to play tournaments to raise money for local charities, visited Leigh recently and we raised $1000 which was donated to the Leigh Fire Brigade. We thought this was appropriate due to the excellent work they have been doing during the summer’s weather events.
On March 4, Steve Mantle and Mike Beretta took out the Drawn Pairs tournament.
The 2x4x2 pairs tournament was won by a visiting team from the Point Chevalier Bowling Club. This is an interesting variation on the game where the first two players bowl two bowls each, the second players in each team bowl four bowls, and then the first two players play their last two bowls.
The Handicap pairs was won by Matt Lennan and first year bowler, Symon Morrice.
The club’s annual meeting will be held at the clubrooms on June 11, at 2pm. It will be followed by prizegiving and a farewell to bar manager Karin Richfield. Karin has done a magnificent job for a number of years, with the help of husband Don.
The greens will now remain dormant for a couple of months in preparation for next season.
It has been a difficult season for greenkeeper Lance Michele, but he has once again done a magnificent job.
The club welcomes visitors to the club either for a rollup or a drink at the bar.
