Mangawhai Bowling Club results - Maungie says Thanks

 

An Away Trifecta
Three senior bowlers – Gerry Mulligan, Neville Franks, Paul Freeman – took their annual bowling trip down to the Auckland and North Harbour greens recently. First up was a tournament at Bridge Park BC, Mangere Bridge, where they swept all before them winning the day. The second day was a day of bowls at Glendowie BC where they just got pipped for the win. A stopover at Mairangi Bay BC on the way back north they managed a close third.

Manly Trip
Three Junior 4’s teams travelled to Manly Bowling Club, North Harbour, to take part in the annual Phil Stanaway Trophy for junior bowlers. Mangawhai is the only club outside N.H.Clubs invited to compete against some of the best junior bowlers on the Shore. Teams from our two Mangawhai Clubs have been competing in the Event for some 10yrs now. The teams comprised Sue Epsom, Mona Guttenbeil, Erin Wildermoth, Rawi Brewster. Roger Hill, Bruce Hathaway, Graham & Susan Egerton. John & Jill Ballard, Noel & Barbara Howard. Sue Epsom’s team finished in 3rd place with all teams gaining a huge amount of experience and confidence. These are tournaments all our juniors would benefit from. Great going Teams.

Maungaturoto bowls says ‘thanks’

The Maungaturoto Bowling Club has recently completed a highly successful 12-day winter tournament thanks to the support of many wonderful people.

Sponsors provided attractive prizes for the entire tournament, the last day alone around $2000 was won.

Support from neighbouring clubs meant players travelled from as far north as Hikurangi and as far south as Omaha filling our two greens to near-caacity on most days.

The club says thanks its own members who made sure greens were prepared to a high standard, the lounge was in top order, morning and afternoon teas were provided, the raffle table set up and the results of the days play organised. Bar staff from the Country Club also made a very important contribution.

Overall winners were Len Lawrence, Graham Lawrence and Diane Lawrence, three very loyal supporters of the tournament.

The club has had an outstanding year thanks to two of our members Wayne Wrack and Kevin Robinson who between them won five centre titles – a tremendous achievement.

The new season starts October 3 with the Heatley Memorial.
