Troopers face wind and rain in Memorial

-

Despite wet and cold conditions prevailing for the Noah Hickey Memorial at the Oruru Bowling Club earlier this month, 12 teams braved the elements and trooped on.

A report from organisers noted the rain was heavy first thing in the morning for the event on Tuesday, November 12, resulting in a late start.

Players eventually got out on the green, then returned indoors for a hearty meal after two games before carrying on in the face of the inclement conditions.

Winners were Alan and Lyn Larkin with Dennis Lattimer, while runners-up were Rowdy, Colin and Rick and third were John M, Barbara and Fae.

It was noted the organisers appreciate­d the support on the day following concerted efforts to keep the club on the Far North bowling scene.

“We have spent a lot of time getting greens up to scratch and they are looking good. Again thank you, bowlers, for your support and your stamina,” said a club organiser.
