Two-bowls triples

Twenty-four teams participated in Umina Beach Bowling Club's monthly two-bowls Triples tournament during May.

"After two rounds, there were only three sides with two wins and an unusual six sides with one and a half wins with drawn games in the second round," according to Steve Stead of Umina Beach Bowling Club.

"This left Brian Burrows well ahead with two wins, plus 25, and in second place John Macloud with two wins, plus 11.

"At the end of the third round, the Umina side of Lawrie Anderson, Dawn and Brian Burrows finished the day with three wins, plus 50, and the team of Shingo Nakamura, Peter Coombes and John Macloud in second with three wins, plus 17.

"The third-placed side comprised Peter Cusack, Betty Cusack (who had earlier in the week won a major singles) and skip Fred Hawkesworth with two and a half wins, plus 25."
