A BIG field of 120 men from 10 local bowls clubs braved the wet weather on Saturday April 9 to battle it out for the Wilmar Plane Ck Shield at Sarina Bowls Club.
Normally it’s three games of 16 ends and despite the rain bursts between play, competitors played 14 ends in the first round, managed to get a full second game, but the third game was called off after seven ends.
A happy group of 12 bowlers from Mackay club were the winners only just shading Northern Beaches by half a point.
Despite all having to play in some miserable weather, there was still some great bowls played and good comradeship between all clubs.
