BUCKS 3-WOOD PAIRS COMPETITION

The Bucks 3 wood pairs competition was held at the Handy Cross Indoor Bowls club on Sunday 27th November. Thirty pairs took part and each played four games of six  ends. 3 points were awarded for a win and 1 for a draw and the pair with the highest points score over these four games was declared the winner


The first three pairs, won all of their four games and so the places were decided by the number of shots won. Winners were Marlene & Harley Neems who won 12 points with a total of  35 shots. In second place were Liz Mills and Betty Steane with 12 points and 30 shots. Third place were Paul Knight and Ken Stacey with 12 points and 24 shots, and fourth place were Ian McCleod and Hilary Taylor with 9 points and 33 shots. Well done to all of them


The afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part and all the games were played in a very friendly atmosphere, even though the competition was fierce.


The following results in place order show how close the competition was and the pictures give a taste of the day.
