A couple of fantastic performances from our two Bowls Three5 teams in this years Wellington twilight competition. With our junior and senior teams making it all the way to the Wellington final.

Our open team took the spoils beating Upper Hutt in an extra end and even got back to Naenae in time to support our junior team who came up against a classy Stokes Valley side losing 1 set to 0 after the first set ended in a draw. Well done on a great season from both teams!

Congratulations to Zoe Upjohn, Maria Buck & Jessie Smith who continued their unbeaten run in the Bowls Wellington Junior Three5 Competition last night taking out the Interzone final against Titahi Bay to progress to the Grand Final against Stokes Valley on April 13th.

Meanwhile our Senior team of John Kotrotsos, Lou Watene and Basil Bozoukis took out their interzone final in the Open Division against Wilton and will now play Upper Hutt in the Open final also on April 13th.

Finally huge ups to one of our 1st Year bowlers Dave Horan whose company NES Hire provided an amazing solar powered (i.e., no noisy generator) lighting solution which lit up the greens and ensured that the shortening days and limited light didn't interfere with our bowlers getting through their game. Thank you Dave and thank you NES Hire!!
