Easy win in bowls

•c I Michael Immers skipped his. team to an easy victory in the | iNew Brighton R.S.A.’s 50/50j [indoor bowls tournament yester-l I day, when he outpointed Alfj Williamson to win 15-5. ' The two teams made the final [after fighting their way through the large field of 100 entries. The final was a rather one-| sided ail air. as Immers played consistent bowls to maintain a handy lead. He started with a * pair of twos and a single, while! Williamson replied with singles J on the fourth and sixth ends. | Immers had picked up a further, single on the fifth to’lead 6-2 at I the halfway stage. The lead was increased to 10-3 • b? tiie ninth end after Immers had scored a single and a three, and a fine draw shot on the I

. tenth end gave him two more; > points. Williamson replied with a| I two but it was insufficient to pull j i back his rival's large lead, and i Immers forged on to take the I title. j Immers won his semi-final in j similar fashion from Len Dun-1 • ston, while Williamson was [ forced to play some brilliant! bowls to shake off a tenacious i ; Harry Williams. j Results:— Quarter-finals.—A.
