Clear winners in Kihikihi

A Pirongia trio scored a clear win in the latest tournament at the Kihikihi Bowling Club.

The winning trio was Lynda Bennett, Denise Te Momo and Nevenka Drnasin.

Skip Denise Te Mono steered the team including Lynda Bennett and Nevenka Drnasin to four successive wins – and chalked up a massive 61 points along the way.

It was case of lightning striking twice – the team won the club’s previous tournament in similar fashion.

The two Cambridge clubs also had a good day, Cambridge Central represented by Robby Davidson (Skip), Mary Hughes and Chris Denton came home second with three wins and a draw, 23 ends won and 52 points.

A Cambridge Bowling Club trio of Bill James (skip) Dave Lewis and Bill Edge secured fourth place with three wins and a draw also.

Wedged in between these two, for third, was Frankton Junction led by Steve Liddington with Dean Te Mono and Eddie Knox.

The event was held on a perfect winter’s day – it was sunny with no wind – a welcome combination at a club situated on a ridge and exposed to all quarters.

Two tournaments next month complete the winter programme, the first next Wednesday.
