WHAT A THRILLING FINAL!
Our 2021 Club Triples Championship commenced on Friday, 16th July with a number of games going right down to the wire with only a shot or two the difference with the teams of Roslyn Brown, Val Feuersanger, Kay Griffiths and Nancy Shaw winning their games.
Round 2 was played on Thursday, 22nd July with a number of the games going right down to the last bowl with Jenny Baldwin, Denise Jessup & Roslyn Brown, Robyn McDonnell, Karen Mudford & Kay Griffiths, Lorraine Moloney, Jill Hodgson & Karen Carlton and Sue Langridge, Terrie Bowman & Ruth Higham winning their games.
The Semi-Finals were played on Thursday, 29th July, and both the games were great to watch.
In one Semi-Final, Robyn McDonnell, Karen Mudford & Kay Griffiths played Jenny Baldwin, Denise Jessup & Roslyn Brown. Kay’s team were in good form coming into this game and continued with their consistent bowling to win the game 25 – 9 to progress to the Final.
In the other Semi-Final, Sue Langridge, Terrie Bowman & Ruth Higham played against Lorraine Moloney, Jill Hodgson & Karen Carlton. This was another good game with both teams playing good bowls throughout. However, it was Sue, Terrie & Ruth who consolidated their lead to win the game 21-12 and progress to the Final.
The Final was played on Friday, 30th July, between Robyn McDonnell, Karen Mudford & Kay Griffiths up against Sue Langridge, Terrie Bowman & Ruth Higham. With both teams bowling well, we knew it would be a close game and we were not disappointed.
It was a steady start for both teams and after 7 ends the score was 8 – 5 in favour of Kay’s team. Ruth’s team won the next 3 ends to take the lead 12 – 8 after 10 ends. Kay’s team won the next 2 ends with 6 shots to lead 14 – 12 after 12 ends. Over the next 5 ends Kay’s team won 2 ends and Ruth’s team won 3 ends and the score was 17 all after 17 ends. So, it came down to the last 4 ends with Kay’s team winning the next 2 ends collecting 4 shots to be on 21 shots after 19 ends and Ruth’s team winning the next 2 ends collecting 2 shots. What a tremendous game, after 21 ends Robyn McDonnell, Karen Mudford & Kay Griffiths 21 defeated Sue Langridge, Terrie Bowman & Ruth Higham 19.
Congratulations to all 6 Finalists on a tremendous game, to Robyn, Karen & Kay on winning the 2021 Club Triples Championship and to Sue, Terrie & Ruth on their achievements during the Championship. Well done to all who competed in the Club Triples Championship.
