Our new Club Champion for 2023 is Carol Ritale. Carol took out the coveted title after a very entertaining game against runner-up Chris Cole.
With Carol holding the lead for the majority of the game it seemed as though the title was in the bag for her – but never underestimate the skills of veteran of the game – Chris Cole. Chris rallied with 7 shots over 4 ends to come within 1 shot of the lead on the 22nd end. But Carol was unfazed and continued to maintain the lead until the end of the game with a 25 – 18 lead.
A wonderful game showcasing the skills of both these experienced players and played in parallel with the men’s singles final, taken out by Graham Meaney against Alan Abbott – a feast of good bowls for the large crowd of spectators lining the bank of the green.
Thanks go to the markers and umpires for their input throughout the competition.
As I have been away for a break, I must offer late congratulations to our District Fours Champions – the Yamba team of Jane Madden, Marianne Jenner, Monica Parker and Helen Atkinson played at GDSC mid-February. Our girls will be off to the Regional Playoffs at Cabarita on March 28.
