Congratulations also to Lou Roughton and Kerrie Lupson for qualifying in the Waikato Women's Pairs.

Good luck to both teams for post section next weekend.

Friends and family of Fred Claydon are having a get together at Frankton Railway Bowling Club next Friday 25 September from 3pm. This is an opportunity for all of us who knew him to come together and share memories of how he touched our lives. Some food will be provided and any other contributions will be most welcome

Sadly Fred Claydon one of our life members passed away yesterday. Apparently the family are having a private service for Fred but we will keep you informed when more information is received. RIP Fred you will be greatly missed, particularly by your Friday afternoon buddies.

Club champs 4's results played today

Only 3 teams faced the starter for the Mens event. In the first round G Cotter defeated D Meinung's team which meant should Gary win the second round against the Alan Bowler skipped team then Gary's team would come out the winner. This is what eventuated as Gary's team scraped home by a point 12-11.
Winning team was Cotter(s),Posa,Lourie,Knox
This concludes Railways championships for the season, and indeed it could be the last club competition on the site as the future of the club on the existing site days seem to be numbered.

Sincere Condolences extended to Jude and family with the loss of a brother bowler Jimmy Toa toa. He meant far more than that to us all at the Club as many of us who were privileged to be in his company know how he loved people, always interested in what You were up too and displaying the character of a true gentleman. We will miss you so much .Jimmy, thank you for being such an integral member of the club and be with Barb now united again.

Both sets very tight with Tony needing to drive the jack to the ditch with his final delivery in the second set to avoid the tie break.

All go today with the PBA ranking singles completed

Gary Cotter was rewarded for his regular practice sessions by defeating Tauranga visitor Paul Anderson. That will give both of them valuable ranking points. Congratulations
