MAPUA CLUB

PROGRESS OF COMPETITIONS Due to the absence of many members of the Mapua Bowling Club on holiday, activities have been somewhat curtailed over the past fortnight. With a run of good weather henceforth it is hoped to complete club competitions at an early date. White is to play Wakefield in the final of the senior singles, while in the play-off in the full rinks competition Dormer, Ross. Coutts and White (s) are to play M. Wells, Pavnter, Neave and Sladen (s). In the Feathers Challenge series, Wakefield and Ross staved off a hot challenge from Jackson and M. Wells, the score being 21-20. On Saturday, however, Sladen and M. Wells wrested the trophies from the holders, Wakefield and Ross, by 21-19. In the Centennary Consolation Pairs Competition, in which, where possible, junior members are to act as skips, Grainger and Neave defeated Foley (s) and Coutts 22-17. A key match in this competition is that between M. Wells and McKee and S. Wells and Wakefield which should be played as early as possible.
