Lyall Bay Bowling Club Inc

Congratulations to Zowie & Maria who were selected to represent Wellington in the upcoming Junior WKWM tournament!

A couple of fantastic performances from our two Bowls Three5 teams in this years Wellington twilight competition. With our junior and senior teams making it all the way to the Wellington final.

Our open team took the spoils beating Upper Hutt in an extra end and even got back to Naenae in time to support our junior team who came up against a classy Stokes Valley side losing 1 set to 0 after the first set ended in a draw. Well done on a great season from both teams!

Congratulations to Jessie Smith the first female winner of the Brackenridge trophy which was first awarded in 1933. From BMX world champion to Lyall Bay Brack handicap singles champion… not quite the pinnacle of her sporting achievements but we’re pretty proud of this 1st year !! Go Jess!! 🚲 😜

Congratulations to first year bowler Jessie Smith and Sarah Cooper who are about to play the final of the Brackenridge 2-Life Handicap tournament. This is the first year that this competition has been opened up as a mixed event so we’re going to have our first woman champion. Congratulations also to Barry Ablett and Paul Flynn who gave Sarah and Jess a great run in the semifinals.
Final starting at 2pm.

Congratulations to Zoe Upjohn, Maria Buck & Jessie Smith who continued their unbeaten run in the Bowls Wellington Junior Three5 Competition last night taking out the Interzone final against Titahi Bay to progress to the Grand Final against Stokes Valley on April 13th.

Meanwhile our Senior team of John Kotrotsos, Lou Watene and Basil Bozoukis took out their interzone final in the Open Division against Wilton and will now play Upper Hutt in the Open final also on April 13th.

Finally huge ups to one of our 1st Year bowlers Dave Horan whose company NES Hire provided an amazing solar powered (i.e., no noisy generator) lighting solution which lit up the greens and ensured that the shortening days and limited light didn't interfere with our bowlers getting through their game. Thank you Dave and thank you NES Hire!!

What a super weekend it was for Lyall Bay Bowling club! Congratulations to Lisa White, Sarah Cooper, Zowie Upjohn & Maria Buck who took out the Women's fours final against Ann Bowden, Sharman Buckle, Marian Chait & Sita Bandaranayake. Well done to both teams and go well Lisa and co in the Champ of Champs!!

Meanwhile, it was a busy day for Maria who earlier on the same day won her way through to the quarter final stage of the Bowls Wellington CoC women's junior singles dipping it out to the super talented Lily Signal from Stokes Valley Bowling Club. It's been an absolutely phenomenal season for Maria who can now lay claim to being the singles, pairs, triples, fours and junior singles champion... all in one season!!

.. and last but certainly not least massive congratulations to Brian McDermott who won his way through to the final of the Champ of Champs Junior singles negotiating an incredibly difficult section winning his quarterfinal against James MacMillan of Petone Central and his semi final against Jordan Keene from Stokes Valley. Brian will meet Terry Dean from Johnsonville Bowling Club Inc in the finals day at Naenae on the 16/17 May.

Lyall Bay on the up!! 🥳🙌
