Opie adds another title

VERONICA Opie added a Ladies Veteran Singles title to her recent club championship as the Mount Gambier RSL Bowling Club held its Ladies Veterans Singles Competition last week.

Asmall but strong contingent entered, with the format the first to 21.

Merna Whitehead defeated Lyn Chirgwin in the first game which then gave a final four.

In the semi-finals Veronica Opie defeated Whitehead and Edna Eldridge defeated Grace Plew to set up an interesting final.

Eldridge put up a gallant effort but was unable to overcome the experience of Opie, which shone through in the end.
