46 FRIDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2019 www.weekender.news Sports & Local News Javea Green Captain’s Cup THE annual Captain’s Cup competition was enjoyed by 72 members on a gloriously sunny day. This triples event had a twist, as all teams played three matches with each player having to play at lead, two and skip. This can be a little daunting for our newer bowlers, but it also gives them the chance to experience the pressure that all positions offer. The winners, Dave Carvath, Iris Lees and Gary Kent, won all three matches with a shot difference of plus 15 and can be seen with Club by Alan Phillips, JGBC Press Officer Captain Keith Hamilton in the photo. The runners-up were Dave Dickinson, Colin Olver and Dick Baron. They also won all three matches, but with a shot difference of plus 10. The Captain’s Cup also gives our Members the opportunity to support the Captain’s chosen charity, Cancer Care Javea, and 225 euros was raised. Congratulations to everyone who competed and enjoyed the day. Marina Alta Golf Society WITH Marina Alta Golf Society player numbers remaining about the same as last week, the 10 members and three guests teed off in an individual Stableford game, at the Oliva Nova course, on Monday 4th November 2019. Two of the guests were back for the third week running. Alan and Beth McGregor must surely love playing with this Society or they have nothing else to do. The weather forecast had promised a nice day with a little breeze, which would make for good golfing conditions, while the course was in its usual good shape. At the end of the game, back in the club house, the results were as follows: In first place Keith Sinden, with 34 points, and the winner on countback, playing off a 20 handicap. Second place went to David Reid, also with 34 points, off his new handicap of 13. Third place went to Jen- Dave Reid, Keith Sinden and guest Alan McGregor. 2nd week running, where is Jenny! Camera shy? ny Downes, who was also in 3rd place last week. This week she had 33 points off a handicap of 31. There was just one two’s today and, on a roll, it was David Reid on hole 11. NTP winners were hole 3, nobody on the green, maybe it moved! Hole 16 guest Alan McGregor and hole 18 in 2 shots, David Reid. Not a bad day’s golf Dave, well done. Apart from playing in todays game, it has emerged that our illustrious Captain Peter Gardiner has been playing golf for the last three days before this game in a Spanish Golf Federation pairs better ball tournament, at the Aguilon Golf course, near Mojacar. Peter and his partner Shaun OGorman (non-society member) were with 27 other pairs present for this part of the tournament. Just 28 pairs left out of the 420 pairs who first entered the tournament a few months ago. Peter, who has never been shy in blowing his own trumpet, kept his progress in the tournament quiet from fellow Society members until Champagne moment just the other week. The first two days saw the players (in pairs) playing 27 holes each day, followed by 18 holes on the last day in a singles tournament, in what turned out to be a very windy day in that part of Spain. Peter and Shaun managed to be placed 10th in this pairing part of the tournament, while in the singles tournament Peter had 32 points and was placed second. Picking up prizes and their gifts from their goody bags, both had a good time and highly recommended the golf course. On reflection Peter, blow your trumpet loud and long, you deserve it. Well done both. The Marina Alta Golf Society plays every Monday at the Oliva Nova course. If you want to join this friendly group of golfers as a guest, then a warm welcome will be waiting for you.

U3A Moraira/ Teulada bowls competition THE Moraira/Teulada U3A Bowls Competition was held on Thursday 31st October, at the Inn on the Green, Javea. This annual competition is held in memory of Pamela Kershaw, founder and former vice-president of the U3A. The competition was organised by the Group Leaders of the Wednesday Group, David and Eileen Haxon, in conjunction with the Group Leaders of the Monday Group, Ray and Pauline Durrant. A total of 28 members participated in the competition. The U3A President, David Haxon, welcomed everyone and hoped that the members by John Hopwood, Press Officer would have an enjoyable and successful day. The knockout competition then proceeded. Following an exciting and closely fought final, the winning pair were Norman Benn and Michael Dawson. The runners-up were Michael Masson and David Osbourne. David Haxon presented the Challenge Cups to the winners and runners-up. All the members and friends then enjoyed a Buffet lunch provided by the catering team at the Inn on the Green. L to R Michael Dawson, U3A President David Haxon and Norman Benn by Alex Trelinski LEWIS Hamilton sealed his sixth world drivers’ title with second place in the United States Grand Prix last weekend. He becomes the second most successful Formula 1 driver of all time, one championship behind Michael Schumacher. Hamilton failed in a valiant attempt to win the race by trying a different strategy to Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas, but that did not matter such was his points advantage. The Briton held off Max Verstappen for second, as Bottas won in Austin. Hamilton's sixth title has also moved him clear of the legendary Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio. The Brit has secured the championship with 10 victories out of the 19 races held so far this season, with two remaining in Brazil(a week on Sunday) and Abu Dhabi. Asked what he could go on to achieve in his career, Hamilton said: "I don't know about championships but as an athlete I feel fresh as can be. We won't let up, we'll keep pushing."
