A field of 16 teams played the first Monthly Triples event at the Warwick Bowls club on Tuesday, 1 February.
There were some murmurs about the pace of the green. To be fair the club’s new Greenkeeper has only been on the job for two weeks and there was significant work done on the greens when they were put out of action. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I understand that by all accounts Peter (the greenkeeper) has achieved a great deal in a short time. No doubt the ‘Slow Greens” will be a passing phase as his work continues.
The Monthly Triples event was sponsored by Debbie Wheeler, a recent member and one who knows a thing or two about bowls clubs and books.
The overall winners were Mick O’Leary, K. Weier and G. Green. Kay Bloomfield, Lynn Collie and Doug Christensen picked up the runner’s up prize and the ‘Last Past The Post’ went the way of Gerda Brack, Darryl Phillips and Phil Wagner.
In the opening round the eventual winners defeated a team from The Summit 15-4. In round two they proved too strong for the team from Southern Cross scoring a 13-6 win. 13-6 a popular score throughout the afternoon.
That was the score in the opening game for the runner’s up who defeated Gerda Brack, Darryl Phillips and Phil Wagner. In the next round they suffered a 15-4 loss at the hands of
Edwin Welsh, Craig Thurgate and Trevor Wright.
