NOVICES TAKE ST GEORGES DAY TRIPLES

Kindly sponsored once again by Linea Directa, the St Georges Day Triples competition, held at Greenlands, proved most successful, attracting bowlers from far and wide.

There was a team that came up from Indalo in the south and from as far north as Calpe to the north on what proved to be a wonderful advert for the game.

However, not everything went to plan with the novices from La Tercia, a club with no real structure and very few members, and that plays social bowls only, coming out on top of the pile, a pile, incidentally, that included national champions and internationals, but as organiser Pete Bonsor said, “it is the camaraderie that counts, the fact that the competition was fully subscribed, everybody turned up, and the day went like absolute clockwork”.

So well done La Tercia and well done

Monte Mar Bowls Club

Sponsored by The Pub, Gran Alacant Insurances, Dialprix, The Belfry, Sunrise Builders, La Piedra and Dunbars.

Monte Mar Toros v Emerald Isle Victors - Away at Emerald Isle it was a good result for the Toros, winning on three rinks and the shots. We got off to a good start on three rinks but stuck on zero on one rink. The rink on zero gradually caught up and eventually won great game!!! Well done to Jean Chamberlain, David Eades skip Phil Goble, Sheila Roberts, Cindy Bedford skip Neil Crawford, Colin Bedford, Sue Bounds skip Joan Harding. Shots Toros 88 – 85 Victors. Points Toros 8 –4 Victors.
