There was no rest for the wicked Sunday morning as junior 1-3 year players from across the city rode up to the club for the 6th annual Great Western Showdown.
Instigated in 2018 by Sammy Sattler, the tournament provides an opportunity for players at the start of their bowling career to compete against contemporaries without any fear of facing any veteran bowl-slingers.
The day went well with some great bowls being played in a positive atmosphere on and off the green.
The folks who collected their rewards:
1st: Ryan Hawthorne, Ryan Hill, & Jhanna Savov (Mt Albert) 4 wins, 24 ends, 56 pts.
2nd: Allan McQuid, Wayne Harris, & Kerry Greenhaigh (Orewa) 4 Wins, 23 ends, 52 pts.
3rd: David Weir, Lee Singer, & Nicole Singer (Royal Oak) 3 Wins, 25 ends, 44 pts.
