2026 FOURS

The 2026 Fours were completed on 30th May.  Eight teams contested the event.  Earlier matches were affected by the rainy conditions but luckily the sun shone for the final, although the breeze was a little chilly.     The many spectators saw some great bowls played by both teams.  It was a very closely fought match with Katie's team taking an early lead but then Jan's team won 6 ends in a row.  However Katie's ladies fought back and gradually got to within 2 shots of the lead.  Jan's ladies then won the next few ends but Katie's team again fought back. What a great match with Jan's ladies winning by 1 shot.  Congratulations to all players.  A worthy final.

2026 Minor Singles

 

Winner Renette Burgess

The final of the 2026 Minor Singles was played on Tuesday 24th February 2026 between Renette Burgess and Debra Moore.

In ideal conditions both ladies played great bowls. It was a very close game with only a couple of shots, in some cases only 1 shot, difference between them throughout. Over the 34 ends played the score was level 5 times. On the 32nd end they were tied on 21, then Renette got a 1 on the 33rd end making it 22 - 21. There had not been many multiple scores, but Renette drew 3 lovely bowls on the 34th end to take out the match. What a great game which thrilled the many spectators who came to watch. A worthy final.

Winner: Renette Burgess

Runner Up: Debra Moore

Congratulations and well done to both players.
