Bowling Club
The Martinborough Bowling Club recently conducted their Bottle-O Open Fours competition . In all 56 bowlers from as far afield as Christchurch , Wellington , Titahi Bay and Wairarappa clubs contested the two day event .
Club President Pedro McGillicuddy welcomed the players to the tournament stressing the fact that the clubs green wasn’t in perfect order and asked for their co-operation in an effort to play the six games.
Due to the unseasonably dry weather and council water restrictions , the green was a shade under tip top condition. However with many hours of hard work it was deemed good enough to play .
Winners of the Tournament were Upper Hut / Silverstream Maurice Beard , Aaron Wall , Dave Hewitt and Bruce Bar .
Runners up were Naenae / Martinborough Jim Madden , Adrian O’ Brien , Alan Osborne and Pedro McGillicuddy .
The consolation was taken out by Martinborough / Featherstone Peter Ireland ,Neville Smith , Shirly Pontu and Makia Cambell .
Consolation runners up were Petone four Sid Roddick , Joe Wheglen , Cory Carroll and Tira Carroll .
Closing day was held May May 15 with a gathering at the Regeant St clubhouse .
Club championship winners were acknowledged and congratulated by President McGillicuddy .
The club is planning some off season fundraisers and details of these will be printed here in coming editions .
Anyone interested in learning more about the game or the club are invited to attend casual drinks each Friday afternoon from 5 pm or they can contact Club Secretary Ken Paddon on 2108175724 .
