Anette and Brian roll to victory
Groenewald and Scott are the new Richards Bay Bowls Club Mixed Pairs champions
THE Richards Bay Bowls Club Nominated Mixed Pairs Championship was held over the weekend of 11 and 12 January at the club’s greens in Richards Bay.
Hot, humid weather greeted the 38 contestants on both days.
Fierce competition between the mixed pairs throughout the weekend resulted in bowls of a high standard being played by all.
Entering the final stages of the championship on Sunday, five couples were still in contention to be crowned champions.
One quarter-final game between Olga Kay-Hards/Hans van Koert versus Yvonne Steenkamp/John Dunlop started the proceedings on Sunday morning.
The game began with a bang with the first-mentioned couple leading 7–0 after three ends.
That was the end of their scoring, with them finally losing the game 26- 7.
The semi-final games between Barry Mutlow/Annemarie du Plessis versus Lukas Groenewald/Anita Scott and Anette Groenewald/Brian Scott versus Yvonne Steenkamp/John Dunlop got underway and the eventual winners were Mutlow/Du Plessis and Groenewald/Scott. The respective winning scores were 18–5 and 16–10.
The final, played over 15 ends before a great bank of spectators, did not lived up to expectations. The game was a one-sided affair from beginning to end with Anette Groenewald/Brian Scott running out comfortable winners by 28 – 3.
