BOWLS BANTER
Kenton Bowling Club
A busy and exciting week for our
b ow l e r s .
Last weekend saw Ivan
Pachonick taking part in the
Eastern Areas (EA) Champion of
Champions tournament that was
held at Grahamstown Bowling
Club.
He did very well and came
third in a shot profit count out.
Kenton did not have any ladies
taking part in the competition this
ye a r.
The EA Men’s CoC this year is
Trevor Frost from Port Alfred and
the EA Ladies’ CoC for the year is
Louise Vincent of Grahamstown
Bowling club.
Congratulations to Trevor and
Louise from us at Kenton and well
done to all the other club
champions who competed in the
e ve n t .
The week at Kenton started
with beautiful rain last Monday
after a brief shower on the Sunday,
and we measured 42mm at the
club.
This after the weeks of strong
winds which have been drying out
e ve r y t h i n g .
On the downside the rain
caused the postponement of the
Business League which was
scheduled for Monday evening,
but we’re sure we'll be able to fit it
in soon.
We had a great turnout at
bowls last Wednesday for the final
event of the year’s Dias
competition.
This is one of the highlights of
our bowls year and takes place on
the second Wednesday of every
month.
The winning team on the day
was Anthony Copeman and his
team of Terry Bowen and Lydia
Pa l m e r.
We were honoured to have
Andrew Murray from Dias
Insurance at the presentation
afterwards where we enjoyed the
snacks provided by Dias on the
d ay.
The overall winner for the year
was Dave West with Gert
Immelman, Tony Phillips and
Lydia Palmer taking the rest of the
prize winning positions.
Internal competitions are also
drawing to a close and those
present on Thursday morning saw
a cracker of a final in the Mixed
pairs between Dave Wallace and
Cecelia Immelman against Patricia
Greig and Ivan Pachonick. Dave
and Cecelia streaked ahead with
some wonderful bowls, before
Patricia and Ivan fought back to
peel on the 19th end.
A brave declaration on the
20th by Dave had them one shot
ahead going into the final end
which they won by two shots.
There were the usual bounce
games on Friday afternoon and it
was great seeing Stuart Clarkson
out on our greens again.
The draws took place
afterwards and the Whisky Draw
was won by Neville Emslie, PT
Lockdown Meat draw was won
by Wynne Daly and Mo Marsay
had a go at the Joker prize but had
to be satisfied with the
consolation prize of R100.
This next week sees our big
event for the year, KBC Mixed
Classic, taking place on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
We have a lovely lot of teams
entered from all over the Eastern
Cape, Border and there’s even a
team from Morningside,
Johannesburg who are coming
d ow n .
This is the first Mixed Classic
we are holding and I’m sure it will
be a great success.
Kowie Bowling Club
With another week of fine
weather, Kowie bowling club was
as busy as ever.
The week started off with an
Ocean Basket sponsored tabs-in
competition, which was won by
Jonty Alexander and his team of
Gill Turner and Sean Wiblin.
Last Wednesday morning was
dedicated to our novices, who
had an informal training session
which was enjoyed by all.
Thursdays ‘megabucs’
competetion was won by Jackie
Kriel who was ably supported by
her team of Gill Turner and
Michael Long.
Last Friday we had the
Personal Trust Trips competetion
which is always a whole lot of fun.
With these trying times and the
economy in dire straits, a big
thank you again to our sponsor,
Karl Vermeulen and his team from
Personal Trust. After the winners
of the different ends were
announced, a fire was lit and a
steak braai was held.
On Saturday and Sunday the
triangular competition was the big
one.
Morgan Bay/Kei Mouth,
Walmer8th Avenue and Kowie
Bowling Club took part in the
annual Multi Security Triangular.
In near perfect weather
conditions and on beautifully
prepared greens, four teams from
each club contested this
t r i a n g u l a r.
After the first round Kei
Mouth/Morgan Bay led by 6
points from Walmer, with Kowie 6
points off the pace. However, in
the second round, Kowie made a
clean sweep of their games, with
wins from Lochard Ainsley, Pieter
Stegmann, Allan Sheridan and
Jack Wiid, moving ahead of Kei
Mouth/Morgan Bay by 7 points. In
the third round, Kei
Mouth/Morgan Bay made their
own clean sweep, with Dap Van
Reenen joining the party by taking
a lead of 7 points going into the
last game. In the fourth round,
Kowie rose to the occasion again,
winning three of the last four
games, and peeling the fourth as
Kei Mouth /Morgan Bay faltered in
THE THIRD PLACE SEAT:
The Multi Security
Triangular was hosted by
Kowie Bowling Club last
weekend. The toilet seat
‘friendship trophy’ was
awarded to the
Walmer8th avenue
Bowling Club,
represented by captain
John van der Berg, right.
With him is Michael
Tomlinson, the convenor
of the tournament
the extreme heat.
Kowie finished with 95 points,
winning the coveted trophy, with
Kei Mouth/Morgan Bay coming
second. Walmer 8th won the
friendship trophy.
A big thank you to our
sponsors, Multi Security and to all
who played, for a wonderful
competition.
Thanks to Mike Tomlinson and
his very able teams for convening
and catering.
Also to Michael van derSandt
for the pristine condition of the
greens, and to all those who
helped make the weekend a huge
success.
A job well done!
Lastly, Kowie Bowling Club is
proud to announce the inclusion
of Jackie Kriel, Megan Kriel and
Jason Prince in the EP sides to go
to the provincial in March 2022.
