Falling at the final hurdle

While the 2010-11 season bought significant suceess to the NEV club, this year sees us falling at the final hurdle.  A wrap up of recent events is a case or “if only but”

National Championships: - Well done to Rebecca Jelley on making the last sixteen of the National singles losing to the eventual winner Sandra Keith.

Bowls Dunedin Men’s Open Pairs: -Unfortunately Shaun Scott (S) and Greg Cash lost the final last Friday to Ken Walker and Ross Thomson.

Bowls Dunedin Women’s Open Fours:- Well done to Vicki Robinson (S), Donna Scott, Betty Ferguson and Sarah Scott who lost the final today to the classey Green Island combination skipped by Faye Cosgrove that included Lyn Rance who won her 15th Bowls Dunedin title.  3rd placed was another NEV four  of Kay Hammond (S), Abbey Dugdale, Shona Mann and Rebecca Jelley. Not bad for a club that 2 years ago didn’t have enough women members to field two fours teams.

Bowls Dunedin Men’s Open Singles:- In blustery conditions Jim Scott went down in the semi final in a close fought game with Wayne Hewitt from Fairfield
