Triple joy

A Cambridge team won the Kihikihi Bowling Club’s Te Awamutu Funeral Services Tournament last week.

The event attracted 24 teams – and at the end of the day none managed to win all their games so it came down to a count of ends won among half a dozen who chalked up three wins.

The winning Cambridge Central combination of Mary Hughes, Glenys Carter and skip Chris Denton.

Central’s team skipped by Chris Denton came out on top from Judy Cato (skip), Linda Bennett and Nvenka Drnasin. Close behind in third place was the Te Kuiti trio of Steve Woods (skip), Kevin Higgins and Peter Lange. A composite combo of Alan Bowler (skip) Clive Merrin and Eddie Knox finished fourth.

On Sunday the Kihikihi club hosted the Waikato Centre Fours champion of champions series – the single biggest championship event on the Waikato Calendar. There were 17 men’s teams and 12 women’s teams in action.

The event has still to be completed and it could resume on April 28.

Meanwhile the Cambridge club will host the champion of champion triples on Sunday.
