Everglades women contest singles final
The 2013 District Singles competition commenced on Monday, May 13, with semi-finals and finals being held at Umina Beach Bowling Club.
Winners of the quarter finals were Margaret Smith of Everglades who defeated Pat Neal of Umina, Deirdre Windshuttel of Avoca who defeated Sue O'Connor of Everglades, Lyn Morton of Everglades who defeated Sue Ryan of Bateau Bay and Elizabeth Lochte of Terrigal who defeated Diane Rhedey of Halekulani.
In the semi-final Lyn Morton defeated Elizabeth Lochte 26 to 12, while Margaret Smith defeated Deidre Windshuttel 25-23.
The scene was now set for an all Everglades final.
On checking the records the last time both finalists in the Singles were from the same club was in 1980 when The Entrance had the two women in the final.
Margaret got off to a good start and shot ahead.
Lyn gradually found her range and started the chase.
On the day Margaret came out the winner 27 to nine.
