fFrom Our Own Reporter)
WESTPORT, April 14. Fourteen teams qualified for post-section play in the Buller Bowline Centre’s Easter fours tournament which attracted a record entry of 38. The qualifiers include four from the Canterbury area, which had a much larger representation than usual. The Westport Returned Services’ team, skipped by A. Archibald, won eight out of the nine matches and was only beaten on an extra head on the last one by P. Marshall, of Reddins. who needed the win to qualify. P. Head and B. Petrie (both of Returned Services), J. B. Rennie (Christchurch), R. Wilson (Westport), R. Harker (Westport Watersiders) and R. Barnett (Christchurch Working Men’s Club) all finished with seven wins.
Those with six wins were C. O'Brien (Returned Services), I. Kitchen (Runanga), P. McKenzie (Westport). P. Marshall (Redcliffs), J. Brennan (Blaketown), A. Jeavins (Rangiora) and S. Dunne (Cobden).
The qualifying rounds were played on three Westport greens all of which were in splendid order. The teams skipped by Barnett and Rennie played consistently good bowls but will meet strong opposition in the post-section play tomorrow.
