Champion triples

The Everglades women's triples team of Judy King, Goldie Edwards and Sue O'Connor continued their CCDWBA Triples championship winning streak when they captured the title for the third year in a row at Davistown RSL on January 20.

"This championship got away to an unfortunate start due to inclement weather with one game being totally washed out on the first day," publicity officer Ms Margaret Evans said.

"But once the weather cleared on subsequent days, the tournament produced some very good bowls and some close games.

"The Everglade girls continued their dominance of this event and had a convincing win over Bobby Jones, Marlene Trounce and skip Pat Reay from Toukley District in the final 28 to 10.

"The District Fours followed on Monday, January 30, with some very tight games in the early rounds.

"The final was played at Gosford City Bowling Club on February 3.

"There was never much in the game but the Umina Beach team of Dot Craber, Lila Gilmour and Jean Lane skipped by Betty Cusack ran out the winners 22 to 18 over the Avoca Beach combination of Elise Amundsen, Gwenda Simpson, Margaret Jones skipped by Ann Monk."
