Lively competition at Everglades

Visiting bowlers from Canterbury Hurlstone Park provided lively competition at the Everglades Bowls Club during the weekend of November 5 and 6.

Approximately 35 men travelled by coach on the Saturday morning for a day of fierce rivalry and fun.

"Mt Lewis is home of the Sydney Lions one of the Australian Bowls' Premier League teams.

"Everglades Men have visited Mt Lewis over the last five years and have had reciprocal visits from them on a twice-yearly basis.

"Fierce competition has resulted from each visit and Everglades uses the visit as a tune up for our upcoming Pennants season.

"Recently, we completed our Novice singles event which is open to both men and women.

"In the final, K Guilmartin defeated P Quick in a closely-fought game."

The final of the club's Mixed 4s was played on Sunday, November 6.

The winners were J Vigar, E Vincent, A Chapman and A McDonald.

They defeated H Cooper, V Davey, C Nicholls and R Davey.

Everglades is also running barefoot bowls every Wednesday night from 5:30pm to 7pm for $5 per person.

"We have our annual Patrons day on Saturday, November 19, at 1pm," Mr Dolan said.

"Our patron is Frank Pingelly who has been a member of our club for many years.

"We always love to have bowlers and visitors from other clubs to our events."
