ELMWOOD PARK
BOWLING CLUB

Results.

19 – 12 – 24
Congratulations to Phil Smith and Steve Cooke who played Club Redcliffs in the U5 play off pairs final [div. 2] at Morrison Ave.
On a damp and dismal evening some really quality bowls were played by both teams with EP winning 15 – 9. It was closer than that with Club Redcliffs being unlucky in what proved to be the final end. Club Redcliffs were holding two shots with the score 11 – 9 but they disturbed the jack to EP’s advantage.
   Champions in action.       Well done guys.
   Support crew. Phil and Steve thank the supporters who turned up braving a most unpleasant evening.

Centre Sevens.   15 – 12 – 24
Expectations were high for a series of good results in the Centre Sevens. Elmwood Park has a history of success in this event but would it carry on?
Women’s premier sevens lost to Burnside. 0 – 2. with the fours unfinished.
Men’s premier sevens won first game against Rangiora then defeated Burnside 2 – 1 and and went on to play Belfast in the final. They lost 0 –  3 to a very strong and capable Belfast team failing to get six titles in a row.
What a revelation the U5s were. They defeated Bowls Papanui winning singles and fours in the first game, then defeated Halswell 2 – 1 and thus progressed into the final against Rangiora which they won 2 – 0 with the fours drawing. Congratulations guys, a superb effort.
Seddon Jury Jane had a mammoth win in the singles and the pairs played well to win relatively comfortably.
   Well done guys.
This is the 8th year of this particular competition and the first time Elmwood Park has entered it!

The Magnificent Seven.
