Women battle weather

Ettalong Women's Bowling Club Triples Championships was played out on July 10, despite poor weather.

The final was played out between Kris Osborne's team of Robyn Holden and Julie Thomson, and Dawn Miell's combination of Val Wynn and Lauren Williams.

"Heavy overnight rain softened the greens and play started under threatening skies," club publicity officer Ms Maureen Kerr said.

"Just as the girls took to the greens, the heavens opened and the players retreated to the clubhouse.

"After about 15 minutes, play restarted on a very heavy green.

"Kris Osbourne's team scored first but Dawn's team answered the challenge straight away and did not look back for the rest of the game.

"Despite atrocious weather conditions the girls soldiered on with the trio of Dawn Miell (skip), Val Wynn (second) and Lauren Williams (lead) providing too strong on the wet track."
