Championship Triples
SUNDAY saw the Port MacDonnell Bowling Club’s championship triples played for the men and women.
The final of the men’s championship was contested between Peter Bruhn, Bart Lethlean and Adam Wilson against Chris Richards, John Broadbent and Bill Richards.
Wilson’s team had defeated Bruce Bain and Ron Cox’s sides to reach the final, while Richards had won over the Danny Gaut and Reg Fisher teams.
The matches were played in hot weather conditions, with play continuing until the club’s cut-off temperature was reached and then a break was taken until the temperature dropped again.
At the end of the final it was Bill Richards’ team which took out the honours and the 2018 title.
For the women, Robyn Burley’s team of Colleen Tarca and Roma Henderson took on Heather Richards, Jan Dowdell and Judy Grosvener.
Burley’s triple accounted for Cheryle Doddridge and Val Praetz to make the final, while Heather Richards’ team had a bye before defeating Joy Bilney.
The Richards’ team had a slight edge for most of the match, before a six scored in the last couple of ends sealed the deal and gave them the 2018 championship.
Spectators enjoyed watching the finals and all players are to be congratulated for the way they played considering the conditions on the day.
