A very successful 14th Speight’s Victoria Invitation Men’s 2-4-2 Pairs concluded in a fantastic see-saw final with Ray Boffa (Paraparaumu Beach) and Rob Ashton (Johnsonville) coming out on top 13-11 over Grant Wakefield and AJ Cronin (Johnsonville). This was Ray’s 2nd Victoria Invitation pairs title whereas Rob broke his bridesmaid tag having lost on three previous occasions at the final hurdle.

Victoria was blessed with almost two full days of sun, lots of spectators, good greens, great food, friendly hospitality in the bar, and efficient organisation and a big thankyou goes out to all the helpers, players and supporters for making this a memorable two days!!

Full results are available on the Invitation 2-4-2 Pairs page…

Who would have believed with the weather leading into the weekend and the dreadful forecast, that we would get a full day’s play in with no interruption, and even pick up some sunburn!!

The results are up on the Invitation 2-4-2 Pairs page from Saturday’s section play and we look forward to another day of fantastic bowls. Watch out for a repeat of last year’s final in Pool A when Ray Boffa and Rob Ashton play Steve Glavas and Rex Holmes, and a clash of NZ legends in Pool B where Jamie Hill and partner Barry O’Brien meet Gary Lawson with tournament convenor Lou Newman.

A big congratulations to Lisa White for making a New Zealand indoor bowls squad of 10 women and 10 men to participate in a trial on the international mats in Wellington on Saturday 22 November. From that squad teams of 7 will be picked to play in a Test match against Australia next May in Balclutha.

Good luck Lisa!
