Pirongia pairs in tight tussle A three-way play off was required to decide the winners of the silver tray pairs competition at Pirongia Bowling Club.

The Sifl eet Cup was KEVIN AGAR won by Merle Wyllie and Don Scrimshaw from Lindsay Cameron and Jake Leslie. A feature of this play off was Scrim- shaw (in his 80s) and Leslie (a 16-year-old school- boy) leading for their respective teams. Clive Strickett was the only player out of an entry of 14 members to record a maximum four wins in the handicap singles championship. The annual Fairview Motors sponsored tournament attracted a capacity fi eld on a perfect summer’s day at Pirongia Bowling Club. The event was won outright by the host club line-up of Rob Goodhue (s), Clive Strickett and Katt O’Connell - the only team to record a maximum four wins. A countback was required to decide the runners-up. It went in favour of the Pirongia team of Peter Kewish (s), Stuart Mitchell and Betty Gibson. Lawson four handle pressure Ngaire Lawson skipped Lyn Comins, Olga Barnes and Joy Allen to a nail-biting victory in the women’s championship fours at Kihikihi Bowling Club. The Lawson four did it the hard way, having to play the runners-up twice after the two-lifers lost to the one-lifers 18-16 on an extra end in the semi-fi nals. The fi nal (re match) was just as tense, with the scores locked at 14-14 after 16 of the scheduled 18 ends. The Lawson four coped the better under pressure in the closing stages, scoring singles on each of the last two ends to prevail 16-14. The Kihikihi men’s triples championship won by Les Ashby, Jim Roigard and Stratton Colbert was more clear cut. Ashby skipped his team to a decisive 17-7 win over the runners-up. Merv Maddren, skipping Dan Donnelly and George Douglas, conceded defeat with three ends to play. 291TC040-07
