Good luck on finals day to Tania and Mandy as both have reached the semi finals in the women’s pairs.
Kim and Nylla at EP. Post section pairs.
5 – 1 – 26
Wow!!! Both Tania and Mandy have made it through to the women’s pairs final. Two EP players from four is a pretty good ratio. At the end of the day EP will have one national champion and one runner up! Awesome.
Final: S. Keith & T. Woodham 13 v M. Boyd & K. Edwards 18
Two EP members shared the limelight as they fought for the National pairs title.
It was a closely fought match and after 14 ends it was 12 – 12 and it could have gone either way but a three to Mandy on the 13th end gave them a break that kept them ahead.
Congratulations Kirsten and Mandy, a good win.
Good luck to all those members participating in the Nationals today.

Three club members will advance into finals day.
Mandy Boyd will face the well-performed Blackjack Katelyn Inch in the singles semi final while the two pairs teams of Lance Pascoe & Jamie Hill and Tony Grantham & Gary Lawson are into the quarter final and may well meet in the semi final. New club member Brian Coyle was defeated by the Pascoe team in round 4. Brian came from Southland and holds several Southland titles. He is available for interclub and should prove to be a real asset.
Mandy Boyd defeated Katelyn Inch to advance to the final. Down 8 – 13 she then won seven ends in a row to go 19 – 13 to finally win 21 – 14.
Tony Grantham & Gary Lawson won their quarter final 17 – 16, the penultimate end being 16 – 16. The same scenario with Lance Pascoe & Jamie Hill, they won 14 – 13 from a 13 – 13 second last end. Two games down to the wire. These two now meet in the semi final, the upside is that EP will have one team in he final. What a game that should be, bragging rights up for the winners.
Overc0ming a spirited fightback from Leeanne Poulson, keeping calm under pressure Mandy Boyd won her first NZ singles title 21 – 
16. Well done Mandy, a great performance. It was a great game with both players performing well especially in the windy conditions.
And so to the final, a replay of the 2024 final, Tony Grantham and Gary Lawson v the Kelleher Brothers.
What a game. 14 – 14 going into the final end. Grantham’s first bowl on kitty. Ethan’s first bowl a drive which put kitty in the ditch with his bowl close by in the ditch. Virtually game over!
Third place, men’s pairs. J. Hill & L. Pascoe. 
Runner up men’s pairs. T. Grantham & G. Lawson.
