That followed on from Women’s Player of the Year in 2022 … buttressed by her two ‘rose gold’ medals in both the Women’s Triples and Fours at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and reinforced by a win in the Singles of the Canterbury Centre Champ of Champs .. as well as a member of the winning team in the Mixed Pairs and Women’s Fours.  Tayla also had a win in the National Open Women’s Singles (and runner-up in the Pairs).

Rolling Rātus at Kohi

-- Cynthia Morris

1 October was a nearly perfect spring day for Kohi Bowling Club's Tuesday Triples, with a dash of irony—it coincided with World Vegetarian Day, and yet our generous prize trays were provided by the butchery at New World Stonefields!

The event was proudly supported by our sponsor, Davis Funerals, with the very tall Ayrton Rautenbach, Training and Logistics Manager, representing them.

Fittingly, a vegetarian was part of the first-place team from St Heliers: Paula Kempthorne, Linda Fenton, and Sue Curran.

Congratulations and thank you to all who played, participated, and helped plan to make Kohi's Tuesday Triples so much fun. See you at the next event on 15 October!
