The Warkworth Bowls Club has already claimed a title for the summer season, winning the North Harbour Division Three Pennants last month.
The Warkworth Men’s team downed Manly in the final at Birkenhead on October 15, with all three of its triples teams winning their respective games.
Warkworth player Ken McGregor says they were quite surprised to win by such a comfortable margin.
“The biggest thing was just that we adjusted to the green better than they did,” he says.
“It’s always great winning a tournament like that, because you’re up against North Harbour clubs who are a lot bigger than Warkworth.”
The side also dominated the qualifying rounds, winning 14 of their 15 games, and scoring 57 game points compared to the runner-up’s 27 game points.
Ken says beating Takapuna was the decisive game.
“They are usually really tough but we beat them easily. We must have had the right breakfast.”
The competition was made up of six teams, including Mahurangi East which was the only side to take a game off Warkworth during qualifying.
As a result of the victory, Warkworth will play in division two next season.
The Warkworth Mixed team came second in division three earlier this year.
