1-5 Year Fours
11-12 June 2022
Bridge Park and Kohimarama played host to 30 teams looking to qualify for this season's 1-5 Year Fours championship. Competitive camaraderie was evident as play got underway, each team striving to progress through the rounds.
It's Sunday, it's the semi-finals and each team is brimming with talented players. In the first semi-final; Viliami Fifita, Paul Neazor, Gloria Akaruru and Kelly Darwin from Auckland Bowling Club played off against Howick's Mike Dickie, Eddie Jones, Graeme Thompson and Bruce Fenton. A great, well-fought match with Auckland Bowling Club taking the win, 15-13.
In the second semi-final, it's the other Howick side; Linda Fenton, David Weir, Shelley McCabe and Greg Dowdell battled it out to win over New Lynn's Freddy Te Whare, Valeece Simeon, Hokimate Barton and Hemoata Brown, 14-10.
The Final
The last two teams left standing will certainly make an interesting Final. Will the in-form players from both sides combine well enough to take that trophy and be crowned champions? Only one way to find out! Get along to Remuera Bowls on Saturday, 18 June. The game starts at 3.30pm.
Best of luck Howick and Auckland Bowling Club.
