Woy Woy second in night bowls

Terrigal has beaten Woy Woy in the major-minor night pairs bowls competition held at Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club recently.

"Ettalong Memorial's night tournament, over five or six knockout games, was spread over three weeks," said Coast Bowls News publicity officer Mr Bob Penson.

"In the first round, 64 entrants from nearly every club on the Coast bedecked the greens to provide a profusion of colour under the strong lights.

"Some nights later the field had been whittled down to just eight bowlers in the semi-final pairings.

"Kevin MacFadyen and Allan Rogers (Woy Woy) lined up against Bob Penson and Lindsay Adamson (Ettalong) in one contest.

"Jason Gouw and Tony Swaine (Terrigal) went head to head with Brian Murray (Everglades) and Greg Pigram (Ettalong) in the other.

"Form from the preliminary rounds held true and both semis were decided by just one shot.

"Woy Woy and Terrigal went into the final.

"They came together for the decider on the Thursday night, March 8.

"After a tense beginning, the Terrigal Terrors grabbed a five on the ninth end to take an eight-point lead.

"A series of three-shot ends followed shortly, whisking the game away from the stunned Woy Woy pair."
