LEETON SOLDIERS CLUB: The singles championships got underway on Wednesday on a day that the weather threw everything at the players, with very little sun, plenty of wind and a brief shower of rain.
Betty Howard played Lorraine McKellar and with both players giving it their all their scores were level after 16 ends before Lorraine put her foot down to win the last five ends and take out the match 25-17.
Jan Munro got away to a good start against Lee Noble leading for the first 13 ends.
Lee’s experience came to the fore and by playing consistent bowls she came away with the victory 25-16.
Laurel Cox walked onto the green ready to play and didn’t give Jean Plant many opportunities to score. Jeannie put her best foot forward and made Laurel work for her win.
After ten ends Dianne Colyer and Margaret McKenzie were even on 6-all.
Scoring was difficult but with persistence Margaret was able to come away with the win.
Winner of the day was Margaret McKenzie and her marker Colleen Harrison.
Runner-up was Laurel Cox and her marker Jenny Pike.
There were no resting touchers.
