Bowls Wellington Open Fours

Several Club teams entered the Wgtn Open Fours over the weekend and of those only one team qualified for Post Section play. That team was; Alison Williamson (S), Sandy Hickey, Anne Searancke,

and Jean Brewer. They were a team of largely newer Bowlers and played very well throughout the Section play on Saturday. The Post Section draw gave them a bye in Round 1 and a place in the last 8. The competition was very strong by that stage and they were not able to advance further. Nevertheless, it was a fine performance from this team.
