Mangawhai Bowls Results

 

Mangawhai Men’s CC Triples
It was that time of the year again, November 14, the day dawned without a breath of wind but by 9am start time there it was again, and with quick greens it made bowling just that little more difficult. Thirteen teams took part which meant byes until team numbers became even. On Sunday 15th, four teams played off in the semis. The two teams to play the final were Gerry Mulligan (s) Dundee Henwood (2) John Rynne (lead), and John Anderson (s) Rob Cleaver (2) Ross Hollingsworth (lead). Gerry Mulligan’s team slowly wore John Andersons team down to emerge worthy winners for 2015/16. Congratulations to those teams who reached the second day, and well done to the winners and runners-up.

49’ers Bus Trip
Recently the 49’ers went on another bowling excursion to Dargaville BC to play in their A/C Triples. What makes this trip a little more special was the trophy they would be playing for, the Dargaville Rosebowl, which has been competed for over a good number of years. And to make the bus trip home even more enjoyable a team from Mangawhai managed to defeat allcomers and get their names on the Trophy. The team was Ross Burrows (s) John Saunders at 2, and junior bowler Barbara Howard at lead. Congratulations to the team, great going.

Mangawhai Bowls Fun Day
For all non-bowlers, put Monday December 28 in your diary. The hugely popular 16th annual 1 bowler/3 non-bowlers tournament is happening again so start getting your team together. Four non-bowlers is fine or we can help supply you with a bowler if you need one. This is a fun day, team uniforms will be judged so think of a theme and dress up to be in for the best dressed team prize. Anything from sophisticated to outrageous will do fine.
