Leonard too good again this year.

Qualifying:

C Darby,  M Reid,  S Leonard, A Wooffindin, and S Mcgrath 

First up for the day C Darby played M Reid.  What a tough battle these two had, both trading end for end. With Darby picking up 5 shots in the last two ends and sealed the win over Reid score 21 - 17. A great game to watch. 

Semi-final 1 saw S Mcgrath up against A Wooffindin.  The score didn't reflect how the game went as S Mcgrath played some outstanding bowls.  A Wooffindin coming away with the win 21 - 8. 

Semi final 2 saw S Leonard play C Darby.  Down all the way, Darby could not match the outstanding play of S Leonard with Leonard winning 21 - 13. 

In the Final S Leonard played A Wooffindin both of Kia Toa. This game was great to watch and could have gone either way with Anne getting off to a great start.  But Sharon, gutsy  as ever plugged away and held her nerve to win 21 - 18. Well done to both players.  Congratulations to Sharon Leonard for the win. 

Thanks to Geraldine Bowling Club for hosting this event.  A special thanks to the markers for giving up their time. And a thank you to the Umpire for the weekend.
