Annual shield at bowling clubs

The annual Friendship Shield was held on October 25 between women's teams at Woy Woy and Ettalong Memorial Bowling Clubs.

"The game was played in intermittent light rain, following steady rain on the night before, and the green was very heavy with little finish," said Ettalong club publicity officer Ms Maureen Kerr said.

"It became a case of who could hurl the bowl the furthest.

"At the end of the day, Ettalong emerged victorious with a win of 121 points over Woy Woy who came out with 81 points."

Next year Ettalong will host the Friendship Shield.

"The Shield began back in 1967 when ladies from both clubs got together, and decided to run an event for senior bowlers although, over the years, this has changed, and the contest has become far more competitive."
