Wednesday 1st June might have been one of the coldest days Warwick has recorded for some time, but it did not deter a small group of brave souls from welcoming winter and testing out the greens at the Warwick Bowls Club.
Arron Payne, Pamela Kerr and Phil Wagner scored a 24-11 win over David ter Hedde, Gary Cooper and Brian Black. On another rink Peter Guy and James White and Darryl Phillips and John Ruhle played pairs. In spite of the conditions, it was a very close game and Peter, and James recorded a 20-19.
The highest winning score victors were Arron Payne, Pamela Kerr and Phil Wagner.
On Saturday conditions were only a little better but the greens were busy as the first round of the Club Self Selected Triples was played.
Pamela Kerr, Brian Black and Craig Thurgate played Trish Owens, Percy Cutmore and John Ruhle. This was a very closely contested match. On the third end Thurgate’s team led by four shots. By the fifth end it was four all and again on the eighth end scores were tied up at eight all.
John Rule and his crew led 16-11 at the 14th but Craig was having none of that and by the 18th end scores were once again tied – this time at 18all. Craig and teammates, Brian and Pamela won the final three ends and win the game 21-18. It was an enthralling match up and congratulations to both teams. We look forward to seeing the winners in the next round.
While the Triples game was unfolding Richard Tartan, Gary Cooper and Trevor Wright played a social game against David ter Hedde, Denis Sterling and Max Balfour. Trevor Wright and his crew scored a 26-15 win.
