Heat interrupts pairs championship

The Umina Beach Women's Bowling Club had to play their Major Pairs Championship over two Fridays due to the weather conditions.

Temperatures reached 43 degrees on Friday, February 10, when bowlers began to battle the Pairs Championship Final.

Ms Pat Neal and Ms Lyn Kennedy were leading 16 to nil on the 10th end when the heat became too intense, causing the rest of the game to be postponed.

The game resumed with an early morning start on Friday, February 17, before the day had the chance to become too hot.

Ms Pat Neal (Skip) and Ms Lyn Kennedy (Lead) defeated Leila Gilmour (Skip) and Jean Saggus (Lead) 24/4.
