Rain creates bowls chaos
This year's winter of rain has pushed the Umina Beach women's bowls club program into chaos, forcing several championship games to be played over two weeks in August.
The Fours Championship game was played at Umina on Tuesday, August 16, with the first grade women playing a tense game.
Bev Bartle, Gwen Jarratt, Betty Cusack and Julia Haigh's team won at the 21st end 22 points to 16 points against the team of Elaine Gould, Lyn Kennedy, Anne McHale and Jean Boardman.
The players said they had Lyn Nesbitt in their thoughts, with Lyn in Gosford Hospital after having suffered a stroke.
