Congratulations to Lisa and Russell Boyd on winning the final of the Club Mixed Pairs Championship on Saturday afternoon. They defeated Sheila and Cliff Traynor 23 shots to 10.

After the first 10 ends of the game Lisa and Russell led 7–6 but from that point on they dominated the scoring to record a clear–cut win.

In addition to this match there were 18 men involved in Jackpot bowls and six women playing in a game of their Triples Championship.

In the Championship game Jenny Holt, Freda Hambrook and Ann Gardner started strongly and established an early lead against Robyn Apps, Heather Bailey and Margaret Gailey. The final score was 24–19 in favour of Ann’s team.

In the Jackpot games the vouchers for the afternoon went to Greg Woods and Tony Ruhl who won their game by 15 shots. Glen Seward and Geoff Holt were just behind them with a margin of 14 shots.

Other winning teams and their scores were Ted Loader and Joe Bargwanna 26–15 and Chris Wright, Mark Brownlie and Mark Anderson 28–18.

Also on Saturday the Temora B&R Club hosted the regional finals of the BPL Cup. Jono Watson, Damien Miller and David Quigley played in one section against a team from Temora and a team from Lockhart and lost both games. Both sections were won by teams from the Temora club and they will progress to the State Finals at Mount Lewis on Sunday 29th September.

The cold and showery conditions on Thursday deterred all except 6 hardy players and they managed half a game before the showers stopped play.
