Mixed pairs final

The final of the Umina Beach Mixed Pairs was played on Sunday, December 2, in front of a small but enthusiastic group of supporters.

The match was a fluctuating game with favourites Pat Neal and Alan Rhodes getting the early break on Roger Ford and daughter Lauren.

However, the Fords kept their cool and fought back to gradually reduce the lead and come out winners 20-17.

On checking the records, it is believed to be the first occasion for a father and daughter to win this event at Umina Bowling Club. SOURCE: Media release, 13 Dec 2017 Ian Jarratt, Umina Beach Men's Bowling Club
