Stratford Avon Bowling Club:

■

Last weekend two teams from the club made it through to the post section of the South Taranaki Fours hosted by Ha¯wera Park. Unfortunately, both were knocked out in the first round. On Tuesday the ladies won their Egmont Shield game.

On Saturday the club had a ladies team in an interclub club competition for the first time in many years. They sat respectively in the fourth spot of their five-team section of the seconddivision women’s interclub.

On Saturday morning, the men’s first and second-division pennants teams won only one of three games.

On Sunday the men’s division one interclub team won five games from nine to sit second overall. A notable mention must be made of Paul Digby, winning three from three.

The men’s second-division interclub team sits fifth out of six teams respectively. In the junior optional interclub competition played on Sunday also, our team sits in the middle of the road.
