|
Auckland's Teri Anderson will defend her NZ Junior Title this weekend. In her way will be 28 of the best Juniors assembled and all wanting the same prize. Her road to the National Final was made even more difficult by fellow Auckland Junior Representative Petero Aniterea who came within a whisker of beating her in the Centre Final. Alex Reed from Tauranga, North Harbour's Kyle Peters and Northlands Monte Pawa will be right in the thick of the action. Monte is also a member of the New Zealand Outdoor Bowls Junior Team who were successful against Australia. The weekend concludes with the NZ Secondary Schools Singles and Pairs Championships. Good Luck Teri!
OLYMPIC CLUB SNARES BOTH LADIES and MENS TITLES Carol Wright, Pamela Cohen, Irene Topliss and Rosemary Stephenson started strongly and never took the foot off the pedal to comfortably beat Jenny Stockford, Teri Anderson, Gladys Ivicevich and Jessica Scott from the Te Atatu Club. It was a totally different story for their Mens Team. Lance Jenner, with Paul Psaila, Ken Wright and Ian Wheeler had to rely on a hearstopping last bowl by Jenner to grab the 2 shots needed for victory. Peter Anderson's Manurewa Cosmopolitan Club Foursome played in 1 of the best finals in years. There was a great crowd on hand to watch the days proceedings. Full Details Under Results Section. COHEN MAKES IT 2 TITLES FOR THE WEEKEND Pamela Cohen (Suburbs Rugby )capped off a great weekend when winning the Champion of Champion Singles on Sunday versus Patrick Morrison of the Te Atatu Club. The final score was 9-8 but Cohen was at 1 stage up by 9-3. The losing semi finalists were Gerard Plaisier (Swanson) and Ton Kaan (Massey)
Te Atatu's Gavin Eccles, Kerrin Fremlin, Patrick Morrison and Jessica Scott were made to work all the way in a tense final with an Olympic Club Team skippered by Lance Jenner. Losing Semi Finalists were Don Fremlin and Ken Gash. A clash with the Inter Island Test Match meant that entries were slightly down on last year. The highlight was a Gold Star for Gavin Eccles and a 1st Title for Jessica Scott. Comprehensive Details Under Results Section!
The Auckland Paterson Team of Don Fremlin, Paul Wright, Carol Wright, Lance Jenner, Gavin Eccles (captain), Kerrin Fremlin, Rodney Mills, Patrick Morrison and Teri Anderson have won the Zone 1 Paterson Trophy.

The Welch Trophy will be played in Hutt Valley in September and this brings together the winning 6 Zones.
