Single entry comp held

The Everglades Bowls Tournament Committee held a single entry competition for 56 players on Australia Day.

With only one green available due to weather and the new synthetic carpet green well behind schedule, the Bowls Tournament Committee decided to run a single entry competition for 56 players, according to committee secretary Mr Peter Arnold.

"Each player had his own card, recorded his own scores, played three out of four games of triples and did not play with or against the same player in any game, giving every bowler a good chance at the prize money," he said.

"The Committee covered the green fees and the prize money of $600."

Winners were Allan Quinn, Frank Pengelly, Gerry Pickford, Dennis Ferguson, Charlie Gray, Col Nicholls, Tom Cain and Ray Ward.
