48 contest mixed pairs
A full field of 48 members turned up at the Cooper’s Beach Bowling Club on Wednesday, December 19 to contest the domestic Kevin Hoult Drawn Mixed Pairs tournament.
Players were drawn into 24 teams to play four games of eight ends, with two games being played before a shared lunch supplied by the members. The winners received prizes ranging from hams down to shortbread.
Many thanks to all who assisted on the day, and it was good to see Jack Sharp back after his hip operation.
The top three placegetters were, Kyra Rapana and Clive Holt 4 wins, 21 ends, 34 points, 1; Carol Sell and Ken Smith 3, 21, 36, 2; Geoff Laird and Liz Walters 3, 18, 31, 3.
