Close contest for pairs event

WORTHY WINNERS: Nancye Wilson and Liz Schroeder ran out winners in the Mount Gambier RSL Bowling Club’s Ladies A and B Pairs competition.

WITH no Midweek Pennants this week due to Country Carnival games in Adelaide, the Mount Gambier RSL Bowling Club Ladies had a chance to play their A and B Grade Pairs event.

The competition was played in a medley format, with all pairs playing a game of 10 ends two and walk, a game of 2-4-2 over 10 ends and a game of three-bowl pairs over 10 ends.

There were only six pairs entered but the day saw some good bowling and close games, which resulted in no pair winning all three games.

A count-back was required to decide the winners, with Nancye Wilson and Liz Schroeder claiming the honour with a total of 57 points.

They were closely followed by Joy Bilney and Sandi Elliott who amassed 56 shots.
