Whangamata Bowling Club

A day of 2 halves today as sunshine dominated the first half of the day and cloudy and windy conditions dominated the second half of the day. Those that handled the conditions certainly earned their wins and got the chocolates. Don O’Sullivan’s team came with a wet sail to get 1st prize with some brilliant bowling.
The winning teams are as follows
1st place: Don,Dave and Trotty.
2nd place: Gary,Steve and Hayden
3rd place: Dave , Keith and Craig
4th place: Gavin,Jane and Cherie
5th place: Stephen, Helen and Ivan .
6th place: Graeme,Jim and Peter.
