Results – BNH 1-5 Interclub – Writeup by Lindsay Knight
Helensville’s ability to always box above its weight was again shown when the club’s 1-5 year bowlers took out the centre’s one-to-five inter-club competition held at Browns Bay at the Easter weekend.
In Sunday’s final its team beat Browns Bay Junior Tigers two games to one.
Its singles player Fred Peretti lost to Craig Lane 19-16, but the pair of Paul Buchanan and Jeni Hart beat Geoff Bennett and Jo Wyatt 20-16 and the triple of Chris O’Sullivan, Jack Hutchinson and Doug King beat Ian Glogoski, Mark Brown and Shelley James 15-9.
In the semi-finals Helensville beat Birkenhead Stingers two games to one and Browns Bay beat Orewa Sharks by the same margin.
A high standard of bowls was seen throughout the weekend and that was reflected in the fact strong teams from Takapuna and Manly were ousted in the quarter-finals. Takapuna, indeed, lost only game in Saturday’s four qualifying rounds.
